Just got my pearl yesterday, and sync'ed with pocket Mac, no problems.
I am subscribing to the tethering option, but VZAccess does not support mac for the 8130 (or any of the blackberrys for that matter)... so I tried something else...
After bluetooth pairing, I tried using the Novatel CDMA driver, I can get 200-300kb speeds, but no faster. Anyone have a way I can increase speeds on this? Using the Windows side of my mac and using VZAccess manager, I can get double to triple those speeds in the same place.
