BlackBerry Bold tethered via Bluetooth on Windows 7 RC
I was able to successfully tether my BlackBerry Bold via bluetooth to my Windows 7 RC laptop. The best part is I dont have to pay for a tethering plan through AT&T and there is no software other then the bluetooth software needed!
Basically all you do is make sure your BlackBerry and Laptop are paired together via the Bluetooth software you have on your pc. When you create a dial up connection use the following initialization code for AT&T:
+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”wap.cingular”
Setup new dial up connection using a standard modem, and have both the username and password blank, and use the phone number of *99#
I actually am getting pretty impressive speed for a cell phone connection:
These three links helped me find the correct settings to set this up:
