Ugh. Looks like it is not a Singaporean-crippling then for the phone. Looks like the U.S. was left out of the wifi hotspot party. I received a reply this morning from the fine folks at Joikuspot...

Thanks for the pictures.

I have been trying to find a solution to the issue but it seems the problem is either with the phone's 3G functionality or then the operator restricts tethering in their network. Unfortunately we are not able to say for sure as we can't test in similar conditions you have. If the problem is with 3G, it most likely will be fixed when an update to N9 becomes available, within a few weeks. Til then there is nothing we can do about the issue, I'm afraid.

By the way, as far as we know, N9 is not sold in the USA and therefore we are interested to know where you have bought your product. Maybe you could enlighten us?
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us again.

I replied to her telling her that a few of us on the forum are procuring more N9's and are located in the U.S. I will start a thread on this in the N9 device section now that you have verified, thanks Gerbick. I wanted to first make sure it was not a regional crippling, which it looks like it isn't, it looks like Nokia/Joiku have not authorized U.S. networks in the coding most likely b/c we were not included in the initial launch of this phone. I also asked her if there was a patch via terminal that I could use to bypass this issue, will keep everyone posted on what she says.

EDIT: Here is the new thread I started on Wi-Fi hotspot crippled in the U.S. I have also submitted a bug to Nokia-dev, the link is in the new thread as well.
