It definitely has to be rooted.there is a very simple 3 or 4 step guide to root on xda developers.the app is called wireless tether for root users.

Sent from my EVO on the Now Network from Sprint!

Are y'all talking about using the phone for laptop internet access?

[mdavis735]

Yes that's what we were talking about.

This is just plain sick! Just got a Droid 2. The compiled list from here and a few others:

A online radio ( very nice once you find a station you like )
Advance Task Killer: will close any app running that hogs up your processing power and battery life.
AK 47 ( when ever some one gets out of line you can bust a few caps on them )
Android banking for my chase account
Armored Strike; turn based tank game. free and full version
Astro File manager: File manager easy to use.
Barcode Scanner
Bubble - a very cool level app.
budget droid
Cardio Trainer - Allows you to record your work out via a GPS signal (whether it is walking, running, bicycling, etc.), shows your route and gives information depending on what stats you are looking for. You can save each workout and compare to previous workouts and it sends it to a website for you to track. I love it for running. Uses GPS to track how far you've gone and stuff like you average speed and calories burned.
Chompsms
color flash light ( allows you to have light dinners any were )
Compass - just that
Es file explorer

flash light (when walking around in the dark its lights everything up)
Free wireless tether
frozen bubble
funny jokes ( always need a good laugh)
gas buddy

Google Sky Maps - browse the solar system by pointing your phone...pretty crazy!

The Droid2 has the flash for the camera right? If so you can use MotoTorch for the flash light.

[BSJF]

Yip it has the flash for the camera. Adding to the list!

[FireWater]

I like it. You can use it as a steady light or strobe. You can even type stuff in and it will send it out in morse code. LOL

I just got the Motorola droidx about a week ago - upgraded from the HTC droid eris. Of course none of the apps will transfer over from my old phone.

Just found another one - google goggles. You take a picture of something and google will automatically search for related stuff about it.
