Thanks.
Thats a very touchy subject. In the end, it depends on how much you use it. If you are attempting to use the phone instead of a home ISP, then yes, you WILL get caught. If you occasionally use it while at the airport, or here and there when you don't have an internet connection, then you will most likely be okay.

Another safe purchase is to buy PDAnet. Its a very legitimate, well made program that makes using the internet and tethering quite easy. When it comes to legality, you could make an argument (though I don't know how truly successful in the end) that you're using a legitimate program that you're paying for, and you should be allowed to use it to its fullest capabilities. You are using a feature of your phone.
