Default Calls while tethered to laptop?

Please Login to Remove!

I recently won a copy of Tetherberry, and spent maybe 30 minutes setting it up and getting it working - thanks to the TB folks for creating a great program and for the gift!

Anyway, my question is whether the BB (Storm) can still function as a phone while it is tethered to the PC. I didn't see the answer in my brief search by topic of the forums, but I know someone here knows the answer!

When you place or receive a call, the Storm will suspend your data connection until the voice call ends.

That is correct. The 9530 does not support simultaneous voice and data.

I am having problems with my email using a tethered BB as a modem. I can receive emails, but can not send them. I use bellsouth.net as my server...anyone else had that problem?
