Using the Blackberry Curve as a Bluetooth Modem

Well, this is just too cool! If I'm out with my laptop and not near a wi-fi hotspot, I can use my new Blackberry Curve to access the Internet.

Of course, I can just use the Curve by itself with its full keyboard and trackball, but if I've got a full size machine, then why not use it?

My previous two handsets had the same capability, but I never got around to downloading the modem scripts for them. The Curve has a much richer set of Bluetooth capabilities and I'm determined to use them all.

Getting the modem script was the only part that took any effort and it was readily available several places on the web. One place that has a link to the script plus a handy set-up guide is here.

Technology is wonderful!
