I am anxious to hear if anyone has or has not.

If you look at their plan details for BB Unlimited and Blackberry Tethered they are identical. So I'm not sure why you would pay over $30 more for tethering. The device can only download so much data anyway.

Unlimited? Is this the same as free, aka no additional cost.

Seems like from the Cingular site the 'tethering' plan is certainly more per month than the unlimited data plan.

but the question is are they just being liars that make you pay more for something that is identical or can they actually tell that you are using tethering and not just blackberry internet.

Spoke to a CR at Cingular. Basically, they told me that on the current 29.99 plan, I should not be able to use it as a modem. They said that if I was, it could be likened to stealing cable. Then, the rep said that there was really no way to stop anyone who is not tethered from using their pearl as a modem. When I asked why they charged so much extra for tethering, he said he didn't know.

Just thought I would pass on the info.

Hey, Here's a question for the experts, when I'm using the pearl as a modem, I have it connected with a short 6" usb cable and a universal mount that slips into a holder on the back of the pc's screen that way if I need to move the pc I don't have to pick up both the laptop and the phone. I got tired of picking up my Pearl when it crashes to the floor. it's a nice set-up, but?

It would be really cool if I could see who's calling on the pc's screen. any ideas, if this is possible?

Can someone please clarify or simplify, for not so tech savvvy guy....I have the pearl with ROGERS in canada (toronto area)

So, if i do not have a data plan (just a phone plan).....Can i activate the net for free on the blackberry? ....or can I use this as a modem for my desktop pc?......If someone can help it would be much appreciated....I cant even figure out where to download songs or videos from the net to my blackberry.

You'd need some sort of data plan. I don't know which one Rogers would require
