Yeah, not my first choice but it's what my work issued and uses. Btw, it comes with an unlimited data plan, so you do the math. ;o)

The better question here is, why in gods name did you buy a BlackBerry :p


Hey. I like my BB thankyouverymuch.

Except it often hourglasses to the point I wanna step on it ~ and the battery swipes are getting hella old.:mad::mad:

Other than that I love it.

Most of the time.:D

So would I!

However, I still have the Bold 9700, and since my iPad is FINALLY jailbroken...

I installed PDAnet just now. Version 2.3. I get this error message:

Internet not detected on your phone. If you have a non US carrier (which I DO...), you may need to setup APN in phone options->Advanced->TCP.
Err=net.rim.device.internal.io.CriticalOException:Critical tunnel failure

I do have a Canadian carrier. I've no idea what the problem is. I've turned on APN following those settings, but I've no idea what to do from there. :confused:

Any help? Anyone?

I really don't know if I can help but this is what I've done to tether my blackberry. First off so you know, I'm not using my BB's blue tooth not wifi to connect. I downloaded PdaNet for the BB and IBluever for the iPad.

i have a torch on rogers up in canada, and a jailbroken ipad 2
i am NOT using pdanet, all the settings i needed to setup were in ibluever, and make sure bluetooth is OFF on the ipad and ON on the bb. the torch does not have wifi-hotspot so ignore any sales guy who says it does

If it has no hotspot, then how did you connect without PDAnet...?

Noob question here......

When u connect the iPad to the BB due you use free BIS for data or normal data that charges separately.

Hi
In south Africa we pay a flat rate for blackberry internet service(BIS). This gives us unlimited "on device" emails, browsing and downloads.
When u connect to YouTube for example u get warned that this will incur additional WAP data charges and is not part of BIS.
If u tether your PC using blackberry desktop manager then this also bypasses BIS and uses WAP data which is charged extra.

What I would like to know is if pdanet will use BIS or the additional data wap data?

Entirely dependent on your carrier. Rogers Canada does not charge me. I suspect that based on how you describe your plan, they would charge. I think it's worth looking into, though!

I couldn't get it working. I gave up and bought a micro sim card
