All I want to do is share the Data Plan for Internet on my Rogers Blackberry Bold 9000 with my old Dell AXIM X51 Windows Mobile PocketPC. Is this impossible or do-able? It would be best if I could do it with Bluetooth since I think the only way using a USB cord is to have the Desktop Software installed on it? I assume it can't really be set-up to be found as a WIFI Network?

Anyone?

THANKS!

Try the Tether app on Blackberry, check to see if your model is compatible. There is a Tether website that helps explain the app for both Blackberry and Android phones.

The app is generally not cheap, it can run you $50, but you get a 1 week free trial. Sometimes there are deals where you can snag it for $25-30.

Keep in mind its a one time payment for a very useful app that lets you share data for free. I know where I live, ATT wants to charge me extra every month to tether, this app gets around that.

The greed of these carriers, charging for a feature all these phones are fully capable of to share data you are already paying for?

BTW, the Tether app does work as both USB cord and Bluetooth. If that helps any?

OK so I downloaded that app and ran it. But I still don't understand how I use my Blackberry as a Router or Modem? When I pair using Bluetooth my PDA and Blackberry, it gives me the services as Dial-Up Networking and Serial Port, but how do I actually take advantage of this? It seems like after they're paired, I can't do anything to actually initialize or start the connection and usage process.

When I go through Adding an ISP, select Bluetooth, pick my Bold 9000, it starts asking for dial-up phone numbers and usernames/passwords etc.

Thanks for the info thus far!

I never used the Tether app as a router, to my knowledge, Blackberry phones haven't been designed with WiFI hotspot type capabilities but are designed to directly tether to laptops or tablets. Think of it more as an air card/connect card for one computer.

Does the app work to share data on your computer? Mine works like a charm, its the most expensive app I ever dl, but also probably the most useful...
