using my bb9780 as a modem is really superb! better than my ipad 1 to be honest!
don't use the bridge browser but the tethering option

[headslick]

I've been tethering sense day one and it works great.

[IvanAMANation]

Tell me about it. I'm tethering with my iphone 4 and its awesome!

[bpeter]

What network are you guys on and do they charge additional fees for the tethering?

[DX9]

Very nice speed with Rogers. I have been impressed

internet tethering doesnt work for me, maybe its blocked by att?

[satanberry]

tethering is so easy to use. i'm waiting for a decent gps app to come out and then the playbook will get mounted inside the car.

I have VZW, and its almost as fast as my home wifi connection. My phone is a 3G device too. I pay $20 a month for 2gigs. Which I rarely use, because im always piggy backing on someones else is wifi around the city

How much battery drain are you noticing when you are doing tethering via bluetooth? Do you keep it on all day?

[pkcable]

Yea I'm on VZW too, 20 for 2GBs ain't TOO bad.

Doing the same thing with my HTC Icredible, extremely easy and it's pretty fast, $16.00 for 2Gb...Lets see if I go over the limit.
Plus both my phone and the PB use micro usb, one cable charges both devices. Love it.

I am living in The Netherlands and even the settings from T-mobile The Netherlands were pre-installed on the Playbook. I thought it was slow because I was using the Bridge Browser

Yes, you have to sign up for a DataPro plan to access it.

I've done quite a bit of tethering with Rogers also and the speeds are pretty good. I love that it is so easy to tether with the playbook.

I am on T-Mobile and am able to tether but the last couple of days my connection drops after a few minutes. I don't have a tethering plan but was told some time ago that I could tether with my legacy plan. So now I wonder if TMO is tracking those who don't have the $20 plan stop it.

Just in case somebody is interested how to stay connected with your BIS while tethering you can check out this and
this post.

It works awesome with my Torch on Telus and it's included in my data plan no extra charge for tethering.

[mikol]

Will it be possible to tether and also use Bridge? In other words, be able to use BBM on playbook and the full browser.

Yes! We figured out that you have to connect bridge first and then start to tether. That worked for us with the tunneling tweak.

Are you using wifi tethering or bluetooth, if bluetooth how did you get it to work?

[headslick]

on AT&T. I have a corporate BB with tethering and it works great.

I was tethering today. Connected for about an hour almost. On t-mobile. But half of that I was on wifi. I forgot to disconnect.

[TivoAl]

Can't tether.

Sprint refuses to sell me a tethering plan as long as I have a Blackberry phone and not a EVO.

My phone has a 3G Mobile Hotspot option and PB sees that as wifi and connects to it.....it's pretty simple. I will try the bluetooth and see if that works.

[kb5zht]

I prefer to bridge. Its totally free. Unlimited.
