    I'd return it. I don't think it will tether to anything besides a BlackBerry.

    any hints on making it work?

    can someone help. . . it says playbook is supposed to work with any smartphone using bluetooth dial up networking profiles (DUN)

    why isn't it working with the n900?

    for that matter why isn't ad hoc being seen?

    Don't know what to tell you really. Personal hotspots/wireless tethering is suppose to work with any device that can connect to WiFi.

    Well I had some success by starting the bluetooth on both devices, then "warming up" the internet connection by either firing a browser to load a page or starting mobile hot spot (not actually using through mobile hotspot's wifi) and then 7 out of 10 connections are with success.
    Seems like the browser/mobile hotspot do something with the 3g connection so I can then use tethering but I am not sure what .
    Hope this helps a bit.

    Just to be clear this is through tethering not mobile hotspot.
