How do I connect to the internet on my laptop using my 7100i? I know Cingular offers software for their blackberrys...but I can't seem to figure out how to utilize my 7100i to surf the net on my laptop. Thanks!

I've used it with my 7100t, and it works well. Can't say for your phone model, but it's worth a try.

Good luck!

I don't think you can tether(?) the 7100i.

i didn't think you could tether it either. Need an 8700 or 7130.

Do you really want to tether at 19k anyway?

I tired it once on my i860 using circuit data... Never again! iDEN is very slow when compared to other technologies.

I haven't tried it, but I've read that MobiShark (http://www.mobishark.com/) will work. I think it will be very painful even if you get it to work. They have a free trial so you can give it a shot for free.

Circuit Data is dial up. iDEN also supports Packet Data which has a maximum sped of 56K. Either way very slow compared to EVDO.
