    I stumbled across an interesting app in BlackBerry World that allows your PC to use your BlackBerry's data connection via USB and BlackBerry Link and just wanted to share it with CrackBerry. One more way to make full use of that unlimited data.

    Interesting... did you get it to work? Two reviews one positive and one negative....isn't very encouraging.

    Yes I did. It worked like plug and play for me.

    Open BlackBerry Link, Plug in device, open app and turn server setting to ON, Change proxy setting in Chrome, Browse on PC.

    I just had to figure out the Chrome settings and I was good to go.

    Isn't that what Internet tethering in the 'Network and Connection' settings does?

    Possibly, but I have an old data plan that uses a pay wall for these kinds of features from within the OS. I had to find an alternative and this was it.

    I'm the developer of this app- glad it could be of use to a few people!

    I made it a 'free' app since it can take a little time to figure out the socks settings to make it work- I don't think people should have to pay money for that.

    Hi. Does the app work with a AT&T q10, too? Thanks.
