There are various articles on the net, but
they
are all american based, & I'm on Orange.

Anyone done it?

Yes, I use my Blackberry as a modem . I have a
tiny Bluetooth dongle in the
USB port of my laptop and this enables me to
connect via the BB. However, I
had a problem at the start and found that if I
didn't use the software (Blue
Soleil, I think) which came with the dongle, all
was well. I am with Orange
too and although not as fast as broadband I have
never failed to get a
connection. Occasionally I have to put the
Blackberry on the front deck
though but as I don't need any cables this is no
problem. I find that the
Orange help lines are excellent - much better
than my old provider - O2.

Thats interesting, I am trying with a lead
connection, so backberry is charging as well.

I didn't want to phone orange, as i thought they
did not like us to use them as a modem.

Thanx
