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!

bump...Anyone have any news on this? Just getting into the Mac world.

p.s. I have the new version of PocketMac working with Daylite, see:

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.

I am about to check out this link: www (dot) fibble (dot) org/archives/000508 (dot) html

idiots! This 10 messages is a waste of time!! Are they wanting to encourage cyber sex as well or what????? And NO- I am not into that sorta bull>

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.

Somebody developed a solution. It's open to preorder now and will be released in mid november.

Well, I guess it's a start.

Definitely just a start, but that does mean there's hope for us yet.

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?

Any updates on this?

The product is available now:

There is an FAQ here:

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.

I use my 8100 all the time as a modem through bluetooth here is a link where I answered another person http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...modem-mac.html

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.

Any news on a free option or an update from mobishark that allows BIS users to use their product

i've been checking this thread once a day for the past 4 months to see if there's been any REAL update. what is the deal here?

To Bluetooth or Not to Bluetooth?
What is the verdict.
Can we connect or what?

Please see my post above:

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?
