Ever wonder how to setup your TMobile Blackberry 8320 to connect to the Internet via Bluetooth to your laptop? This is how to do it. (Not tested on other blackberry models but it may work too)

1. Turn on bluetooth radio support on your laptop
2. Turn on bluetooth on your blackberry and turn on discovery mode
3. Setup the connection between the bluetooth on your laptop on bluetooth on your blackberry
(essentially this is making sure the devices are paired together)

4. Go to the control panel>phone and modem options>bluetooth modem (where bluetooth modem is the modem that appeared during pairing setup – mine happened to be on COM41)
5. Go to the advanced tab and enter the following string in Extra initialization commands

AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”wap.voicestream.com”

6. Connect to the Internet!

    I assume this method is to allow the laptop to connect to the net, via BB's wi-fi, or EDGE, not the other way around. Yes, it would not make much sense to have the BB connect to the net through the laptop, but I just want to make sure.

    Correct. Hopefully your blackberry is already connected to the net via
    EDGE, CDMA, or wi-fi network – if not then you really have a problem :)

    I used this guide in conjunction with http://www.l0pht.com/dildog/bb-win-tether/index.html and I’m posting from a phone tethered via BB!

    The quotes in step 5 need to be the regular non-italicized quotes or else this won’t work (at least for me it didn’t).
