We were a bit surprised to learn that Nokia was bringing internet sharing to the Lumia 610 when it hadn't been announced for the higher-end Lumia phones, but it turns out those looking to pick up a 710, 800, or 900 don't have to worry. In a Q&A about the 900, Nokia revealed that it will be issuing an update "soon" for both the 710 and 800, which will add tethering functionality. And unlike HTC's tethering firmware update, this appears to be for all regions. As for the 610 and 900, both devices will support internet sharing when they launch later this year, an added feature that should make the 900 an even more attractive prospect.
