Do you think PB browser will work tethered....

to my Blackberry when wifi is not available? So HTML5 and Flash sites will continue to work (though more sloooowly) through my OS5 device?

Not sure about that, maybe Kevin or somebody could find out at CES.

It should work as its suppose to get connection for emails and such from a BB via Bluetooth

It should work but would be slower, you are trying to load full webpages which are going to require more data so a slower connection you will see lag im guessing

Shouldn't lag, I've played guild wars and world of warcraft on a laptop tethered to a 8130 for a few hours at a pop with no lag. I would assume the PB should render at normal speed as long as it's getting data at a reasonable speed, which most blackberry's should be able to do.

The Bluetooth pairing demonstration today showed no internet capability that I saw. Maybe it is just not running yet??

is the only way to tether via Bluetooth?

What about the micro-usb connection? I have used my laptop, using my BB 9800 as a modem and works great. Im not sure it would work so great via bluetooth?

It works fine via bluetooth. I have a bluetooth laptop and a bold 9000 and when i tether via bluetooth I'm going at a comparable speed to my regular, line of site wireless internet (ah, country living).
