IOS 4.3.3 does not have personal hotspot

Hi Guys,


I have updated my ios to 4.3.3. I have done the followings:


1. I bought my iphone 4 16GB yesterday.

2. I got the itunes and installed

3. I conected my iphone to my laptop running win xp service pack 3

4. itunes told me that the phone should be updatd and restored

5. the phone was updated and restored to 4.3.3

6. my itunes version is 10.2.2.14

7. based on this link: http://www.apple.com/cz/ios/ or any other link wich talks about the new features of 4.3 ios

8. I should have "personal hotspot" installed on my network for tethering but I dnt have it.


any idea? I really need this tethering feature as soon as possible. I would appreciate if you could let me know why after updating the ios to 4.3.3 is till dont have this feature. or any other good/better alternative?

Great! Now go forth and share the internet with 5 people?


P.S. The broadcast name of your hotspot will be whatever you named your iPhone so if you gave it your full name, or some nickname that you do not wish to be broadcast you will need to change the name of your iPhone.

To do this connect your iPhone to your computer, when iTunes opens highlight the name of your iPhone in the far left frame under the heading DEVICES, then type a new name.

I would suggest you post questions about syncing with Outlook as a new question, I don't use Windows machines anymore and know little about current versions of Outlook and not many people will see it here. Post a new one, make sure in your post you clearly state the version of Outlook you are using, any problems you are having, and full error messages, if you are seeing any.
