Thanx

Desktops will connect the same way but a laptop lets you take your tethered blackberry anywhere.

Thx, it worked perfectly from initial setup. Great instructions. I'm connected at 115.2Kbps.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~it worked! First it didn't but after putting the extra initialization step it did. Wow txs. I wonder if we put a higher max speed would it be faster?

Does this use up the minutes in your plan when using the Pearl as a modem? Or is this included if you have the 19.99 plan for the internet on your TMo account??

I have an icon on my Pearl that I cannot figure out. it is a phone icon with two left arrows pointing away from the phone. It's weird because since it showed up I can't voice dial. I checked the vd setup and all is the same as before. An help would be appreciated

can you get a screen shot?

Thank you so much for this info! I was frustrated by the 734 error and it turns out there was a space at the end of the initialization string. I love Pinstack! Thanks for helping!

my error is:

Error 87: The Parameter is incorrect

which one is that reffering to?

It is 56k dial up speed. Very handy on road trip.

Has anyone been able to set up the tethered modem on a cingular BB? I called cingular, and if you use their connection manager, you have to have a more expensive data plan? Any help is very much appreciated!

These instructions are not working for Vista (not that anything works with Vista). Anybody had any success with it or any points of attention?

[Jockobasi]

I've tried doing this in the past and it didnt seem to work for me, Im quite sure somewhere along the line I messed up and did something wrong. It's sad but I need someone to walk me through the process step-by-step. I know pitiful....

I am now surfing via Pearl!! as I type this I am listening to a streaming BBC radio Scotland program, and visiting websites at the same time!!

THIS ROCKS!!!

I followed the destructions on the TMO website, and have had no problems as of yet, buttonight is the first time I have surfed for longer than a few mins.

while streaming the program, the pages take a little longer to load, but thats no different than the Dial up I used before ( lets just say I've gotten good at spider solitare)

a big tumbs up to TMO for allowing ( and encouraging) this setup, and I wouldnt have even learned about it if it wasnt for PINSTACK!!!!

thanks all

update, still working great, some pages load faster than others, youtube did ok, live365 so so....the music would stop every now and then but over all i could still listen.

and I should mention that I'm running the 1.94 ( rogers) OS which is also kickin @$$
