anyone know the best and easiest way to run a Blackberry thru a laptop so you can use the internet (when you don't have a wireless router at your disposal)...the Blackberry software has already been installed on the laptop--thanks!!!

Do you pay for tethering on your plan? It's an extra fee to use your blackberry for tethering and needs added to your monthly plan to access it.

I know some people who tethered their Droid's with an app instead of paying the fee. You might want to look into that before you pay for it.

i don't follow it too much but i know the blackberry app that allowed you to tether without having a monthly fee from your carrier was having issues. be careful about that.
