different for your carrier with ***.
(1) Update your firmware! Either from a PC or some Windows Emulator run
the Blackberry Desktop Software and completely update your Blackberry.
This is crucial and cannot be skipped. I could not properly tether
without updating!
(2) Go to taniwha.org.uk and download the Blackberry 3G scripts.

Save a copy of the modem script to the “Modem Scripts” directory on your
Mac: Finder → Hard Disk → Library → Modem Scripts I am using the one
called Blackberry 3g CID1
(3) Okay, now to pair the BlackBerry and Mac via Bluetooth. Crack open
your BlackBerry, go to “Manage Connections”, and enable Bluetooth via
checkmark (the icon should then show a yellow minus icon). Then, go to
“Bluetooth Options”, press the menu key, select “Options”, and ensure
that the “Discoverable” option is set to “Yes”.
Now, open System Preferences on your Mac and open the “Bluetooth”
configuration panel. Enable Bluetooth and make it “Discoverable”
(4) Next, within the System Preferences panel, select the “Devices” tab
and click “Set Up New Device…” to begin the setup process.
The first step in the device setup process is a “Welcome” screen. Click
continue. Next, in the “Select Device Type” screen, select “Any Device”
from the list and click “Continue”. Next is the “Searching” screen,
which eventually (it may take a few moments) should indicate your
BlackBerry device as a mobile phone. After the device is found, select
in the list and click “Continue”.
Next is the “Gathering Information” screen, which displays the progress
of the information gathering process. Wait until the process is complete
and then click “Continue”. The next screen displays the all-important
passkey. [ Screenshot ]. At this time, your BlackBerry should display
its “Enter Numeric Passkey” prompt. Enter the passkey in the field
provided (Note: there is a limited amounted of time for this step — if
necessary, click “Go back” on the Mac and try again).
Upon successful entry of the passkey, a “Pairing Complete” message
appears briefly, and a confirmation prompt appears asking if you would
like to “Accept connection request from mac?”. First, select “Don’t ask
this again” and then click the “Yes” button.
(5) So far so good. We are almost finished! Now it is time to configure
the Bluetooth connection. On your Mac, the “Devices” subpanel (System
Preferences → Bluetooth → Devices tab) should display the BlackBerry
8300 on the Bluetooth device list [ Screenshot ]. Select the BlackBerry
8300 from the list and click on “Configure” to open the configuration
dialogue (Note: the Device Configuration dialogue may have opened
automatically after the device pairing process).
Next, in the “Select the services you want to use with your mobile
phone” screen, select “Access the Internet with your phone’s data
connection” and also select “Use a direct, higher speed connection to
reach your Internet Service Provider (GPRS, 1xRTT)” [ Screenshot ].
Click “Continue”.
Then, in the Username/Password screen, leave the username and password
fields blank, and enter *99***1# for the GPRS CID String. For the modem,
click the dropdown menu and select the custom modem script, “BlackBerry
8300”. And finally, select “Show Modem status in the menu bar” and then
click “Continue” [ Screenshot ].
Upon successful completion of the device configuration process, the
“Congratulations” screen will display: “Accessing the Internet using a
high speed wireless data service (e.g. GPRS) from your wireless
operator.” — Excellent. Click “Quit” to seal the deal.
(6) With everything properly connected and configured, we are ready now
to connect to the Internet. Click on the small ‘Modem Status’
(telephone) icon in your menu bar and select “Open Internet Connect…” [
Screenshot ].
Within the Connections dialogue box, select the Bluetooth tab and
populate the form fields with the following information:
* Telephone: wap.voicestream.com (T-Mobile) or wap.cingular
(Cingular/AT&T) * Username: guest (T-Mobile) or W...@CINGULARGPRS.COM
(Cingular/AT&T) * Password: guest (T-Mobile) or CINGULAR1
(Cingular/AT&T) * [ Screenshot ]
All set? Click “Connect”! If everything went according to plan, your Mac
should be using your BlackBerry Curve as a Bluetooth modem and you
should now see the “Connection Status” dialogue box, indicating
connectivity .
