Big screw up for Nokia

The single and ONLY reason that I did not get a Lumia 710 was becuase it was advertised as not having hotspot. Not that it would be enabled by a future release - but that it was not a function that was at all available.

If nokia would have advertised that it was available but would be enabled by a future software update, im sure this phone would have sold better.
