My Hardware:
Powerbook G4 17"
Blackberry 7290
Software:
PocketMacBlackberry


I was able to connect my Sony Ericson t681 trough Bluetooth and I was expecting to do the same with my new BB.
Trying to do the same thing; T-mobile support told me that you have to use the BB sync software to "hold open the connection." (Pocketmac). Unlike mobile phones, the BB wasn't meant to be used as a wireless modem, but the hack goes through the sync sw. Then, you have to use the ISP's custom modem script (see below). Officially of course, they don't support Macintosh.
