Blackberry 8800 as a modem

I have successfully connected my Blackberry 8800 up as a modem in order to do my posting this weekend. It chews up your data plan but ensures virtually universal global access.

All in the interest of providing you with updates each day.

For step by step instructions, visit: Blackberry Forums. Follow those steps - especially the ones looking for you to turn off hardware data compression - and you too will have an alternative.

By the way, I plan to slow my posting schedule in the summer to only publish once each weekend unless something urgent comes up.
