I have found source code for a linux version of a utility on sourceforge DOT net that does what we are seemingly looking to do... I'm thinking with a bit of retinkering, a mac version of this utility could be resolved. the project is called "xmblackerry". Anyone know how to port linux apps?

We're coming down to the bounty deadline - you don't have to have a polished solution by the deadline, just proof that it works. Do what you need to do - get something working by the 30th!  |

The only thing I've heard is that the 8100 can be used as a modem via BT with OS X ... haven't heard anything about the other BB models.

If you don't have an 8100, I'll save you some time - the script at that link won't work with any other model of BlackBerry. |

Any new news on this? I would really like to be able to use my BB for a modem. Bluetooth would be great, but would take USB.

At this moment the connection is consistent with traditional telephone dial up service. We will post benchmarks as we continue to optimize the service.

Well, I guess it's a start. |

I think this solution only works on 8700s and not 7xxx series. Can someone confirm?

Any support for 7130e with Sprint? As a tethered modem?

I am sure I am not the only one to disapprove of the "solution" posted (winner of Alex King's bounty).
If you can plug an 8700 into a USB port in windows and use it as a modem, there is no reason to need a proxy, which is REQUIRED in the "solution" posted above.
After I move cross country next month I will dig deeper into this issue and when I come up with a solution, it will be open source. I am sure a lot of people won't mind that they will have to tether their BB in order for a FREE solution.

So as far as I gather this, this will use phone minutes, correct? Or will it use wireless data which we have unlimited? I don't want to run my bill up or red flag my account.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't use minutes. It's not like a traditional dialup service.

To Bluetooth or Not to Bluetooth?

Can we connect or what?

I was able to get my 8700c to connect to my PPC PB. The speed had so much variance...from 5kbs up to about 45kbs. Any idea how to get the speed to smooth out? What I really want is to be able to use my Slingbox, but I'll surely need more speed than that.
Thoughts?

kstew... please share how you connected the 8700. We might be able to figure out a solution if we all knew how you were doing this. As far as I can tell you are the first to get the 8700 to transmit data to the PB... was it tethered or over BT? |

I haven't seen anything remotely useable other than this "pulse" program? Before I surrender to this... Is there any hope for a real answer to the dilemma?

Sometime in the next few weeks... -
02-09-2007, 05:58 AM
I'll be getting my first Blackberry this weekend, so I'll be playing with this over the next few weeks. I already have extensive experience using other cellular devices to connect to the internet using desktops/laptops over the last few years, and I don't think this would be that difficult. Rather I should say that I believe that all of the pieces of the solution already exist(for free), and just need to be located, assembled, and tested. I've got an OS X iBook I'll try it on here...
I'll let you guys know if I figure anything out in the next few weeks.... |

Just a FYI (this isn't a solution), but the RC2 of Parallel's beta finally supports my Verizon 7130e. VZAccess Manager has no problems connecting and maintaining a broadband connection from within a virtual machine.

Any Updates on Tethering BB 8703e with Mac Powerbook G4? -

Surfnrg: no solutions yet unless you want to pay $100 extra for a hack program on your 8703e and a proxy server. I still think it was a cheap and crappy thing to do, take the bounty and then charge for the solution, but to each their own. I just won't buy the product brain-whatever is selling because I see it as a temporary fix and there's no need to fork over $$$ to a greedy bastard for something temporary.

I gave up and bought a Novatel USB720 from Verizon. Works like a charm. I'd like to be able to use my BB to get online with my Mac, but it's just not possible. Not at the speeds I need.

A bit of potential good news for 8700 users (at least the GSM version):
I've received a report that upgrading to OS 4.2 provides the 8700 with the standard Bluetooth DUN profile. This means that a standard modem script will work for tethering - in fact, the same script that works for the Pearl and 8800.
I don't have an 8700 to test with, so I can't confirm this - hopefully someone here can.
