I have a client who happens to be a mortgage broker. She had the data cable for her LG 4600, and I just upgraded her to a blackberry 7250. Now I just called Telus's "Advanced Data Department" and they said that the blackberry is capable but telus does not support it. Does anyone know of a cable or, better yet how to use the bluetooth on the device as a modem.

The customers laptop does not have bluetooth, but she is willing to have bluetooth installed into her laptop. this may be a little off topic, but does anyone know if this will enable the pc to connect to the internet, or just act as a data transfer aplication.

umm FYI blackberry bluetooth is restricted to HANDSFREE use only... except for the 8700 series... but thats not the device in question.

so using the BB as a modem over bluetooth just wont happen ..( through my knowledge& experience i havent seen it happen through bluetooth)
