The concept you're talking about is called "internet tethering", and yes, it is technically feasible on HTC WinMo phones. I believe it just involves an ActiveSync connection between your phone and your computer - an option to do "internet sharing" should then show up in the ActiveSync window.

However, I must point out that part of the T-Mobile data plan rules of use stipulates that you may not tether the phone's data plan to any other device. Keep that in mind.

I did it all the time with my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2. Should be a program Internet Sharing if I remember correctly. Bluetooth or Hardwire, your choice.
(T-mobile hasn't cared that Ive been doing it for 4 years).

Oh...but now on my Nexus One...I just make a wifi hotspot
