Notice: This tutorial only works for Orange users in France
I use some content from Perishable Press (http://perishablepress.com/press/2007/06/12/blackberry-curve-as-bluetooth-modem-for-mac/). From there, you can find the tutorial about how to use your blackberry to connect the internet in the states.
1. Download http://www.taniwha.org.uk/files/BlackBerry-3G-2006-10.zip
2. Unzip this file, copy a script name ???Blackberry 3G CID??? to the ???Modem Scripts??? directory on your Mac: Finder ??? Hard Disk ??? Library ??? Modem Scripts
3. Go to ???Manage Connections???, and enable Bluetooth via checkmark
4. Then, go to ???Bluetooth Options???, press the menu key, select ???Options???, and ensure that the ???Discoverable??? option is set to ???Yes???.
5. Open System Preferences on your Mac and open the ???Bluetooth??? configuration panel. Enable Bluetooth and make it ???Discoverable???
6. Next, within the System Preferences panel, select the ???Devices??? tab and click ???Set Up New Device?????? to begin the setup process
7. Click continue. Next, in the ???Select Device Type??? screen, select ???Any Device??? from the list and click ???Continue???. Next is the ???Searching??? screen, which eventually (it may take a few moments) should indicate your BlackBerry device as a mobile phone. After the device is found, select in the list and click ???Continue???.
8. Wait until the process is complete and then click ???Continue???. The next screen displays the all-important passkey.
9. your BlackBerry should display its ???Enter Numeric Passkey??? prompt. Enter the passkey in the field provided (Note: there is a limited amounted of time for this step ??? if necessary, click ???Go back??? on the Mac and try again).
10. Upon successful entry of the passkey, a ???Pairing Complete??? message appears briefly, and a confirmation prompt appears asking if you would like to ???Accept connection request from mac????. First, select ???Don???t ask this again??? and then click the ???Yes??? button.
11. Now it is time to configure the Bluetooth connection. On your Mac, the ???Devices??? subpanel (System Preferences ??? Bluetooth ??? Devices tab) should display the BlackBerry 8300 on the Bluetooth device list.
12. Select the BlackBerry 8300 from the list and click on ???Configure??? to open the configuration dialogue (Note: the Device Configuration dialogue may have opened automatically after the device pairing process).
13. Next, in the ???Select the services you want to use with your mobile phone??? screen, select ???Access the Internet with your phone???s data connection??? and also select ???Use a direct, higher speed connection to reach your Internet Service Provider (GPRS, 1xRTT)??? . Click ???Continue???.
14. Then, in the Username/Password screen, both username and password are orange, Phone Vendor choose other/script, Phone Model choose Blackberry 3G CID1, Phone Number is orange.fr (NOT YOU MOBILE NUMBER)
15. From your blackberry???s home screen, Go to Options >> Advanced Options >> TCP, Username for APN and Password for APN are both orange
C???est fini!!! Enjoy your wireless internet connection anytime and everywhere!
