Jamie,
I can't speak with 100% certainty, but I believe if the phone becomes a hotspot, this tablet should not have any issues accessing it via Wi-Fi.
That's what I thought, but a couple weeks ago I learned the phone wireless tether is actually an ad-hoc network connection and it also shows this way in Windows on the wireless connections list. Someone posted the things you have to do somewhere on how to make it work. I'll have to find it and give it a shot soon...
