Using bluetooth to send internet.
    #12859023 - 07/06/10 09:15 PM (13 years, 7 months ago)

I have an app on my Blackberry 8330 that I can use my phone as a modem and send it over bluetooth (Tether) to my laptop.  Can I connect it to my PC via USB and then set up a network to send internet through  my computer over bluetooth to my laptop?

So connect the berry using USB to your PC, and then distribute internet from your PC to your laptop? Yeah, that should be possible.

Yea totally doable, but worth it? nah.

The sprint evo will tether 8 devices over wifi, and 1 on usb at up to 10 MBps soon.
Think about it this way, the extra $ you spend on the phone could replace your home internet connections.

$40 a month to browse shroomery/yahoo/school is pretty excessive when the phone in your pocket is ready to provide similar (slower) results for no extra $$$ . 

Tethering can be done for free, using the right programs. For now, if you want sprint's approval, you need an extra $30 a month. I haven't heard of anyone being punished for avoiding the fee= it's total bull shit to charge xtra for something the phone is natively capable of AND you are already paying for a supposedly "unlimited" data package. 

Same shit with the iphone (actually way worse now):crankey:
