It works indeed. I was able to get it working via the USB cable as well as Bluetooth. The dial up number for AT&T is *99***1# Rest everything is the same as in BlackberryFAQ.com (unless they updated it).

Oddly enough, AT&T connection manager does not detect the device. It used to work fine with the bold. So either AT&T needs to release a patch to detect the Bold or it is going by the vendorID and it does not recognize it because it is a Rogers device. Something tells me that the software is not intelligent enough to do the latter!
