if you are on a apple/mac computer follow these instructions.
easy as pie.

Device Model: 9000 (Bold)
Carrier: AT&T/Cingular

Tethering the 8900 to a Mac:

I certainly do not take credit for this but it does work as I followed the directions last night & tethered my newly acquired 8900 to my macbook. It also worked for tethering my Bold to macbook as well. The instructions are originally intended for bluetooth tethering but can easily be modified to allow for tethering via USB.

Find modem scripts for Blackberry/Mac - I found a link that provided scripts at this web page

Backdrifter: Configure BlackBerry Pearl as a Modem on Mac OS X

I am using the script for the 8800 even though my BB is the 8900; seems to work. Place the folder "Blackberry.ccl" into the Mac's hard drive/library/modem scripts. This will make "Research In Motion" (Blackberry) show up as a choice in the bluetooth configuration window, and will make the blackberry 8800 show up as a modem script choice.

In order to pair the BB and the Mac on bluetooth, you basically set up the BB so that it is discoverable on bluetooth. Then you use the Mac's bluetooth setup assistant to find the BB and pair up with it.

Go to the Network pane in the Mac's system preferences and create a new "Location" called Blackberry Tether or something like that. Add a Bluetooth port in the column to the left and call it something, make sure it is selected and then do the following settings for it. Just to the right make a new Configuration called "tethered BB" or whatever, for telephone number put "wap.voicestream.com" (this is for T-mobile, they currently win the prize for offering unlimited internet access on the BB for $29.95/mo.), for account name put "guest" and for password put "guest". (for other service providers you will have to dig up the correct configuration info for these 3 fields, it's out there somewhere)

OK, now hit the "advanced" button, under the "modem" tab select "Research in Motion" and the "Blackberry 8800" script. I also selected "ignore dial tone" Under the PPP tab I deselected all of those pesky "disconnect for this and that" boxes. Then I tried to connect once, computer locked up, I restarted and tried again and Bingo! it actually worked.

I add- Has anyone tethered with the 8900 yet?

i installed vzaccess and when it tried to bluetooth to my curve, i just plugged my usb cable in and it detected it and it seemed to work...cross your fingers....i was in a wifi spot so i disabled my airport and connected via the usb and i opened a new url and it loaded.....so i hope it continues to work...i guess so far i didn't need to do any weird stuff like paying for a program or running parallels or a script or something.....
