Blackberry Pearl question

[Jayos]

I have a Blackberry Pearl with an unlimited data tarrif

Is it possible for my wireless laptop to use the blackberry to connect to the internet?

If so any ideas how to set this up?

Yes, you effectively use the Blackberry Pearl as a modem (over GPRS).

You then connect to the Blackberry using Bluetooth (not WiFi) from your laptop. You will need to configure a modem connection over Bluetooth on your laptop. In order to do this you will need to know a username/password/phone number which is dependent on your mobile phone network provider.

I'll try to dig up some links to help you to do this.

Thats great, thanks.
I was hoping to use the blackberry as an access point as not a modem, is this possible?

Here's a useful link that tells you how to do it:

I'm not sure about using the blackberry as an access point.
