I thought some people might find this useful so I wanted to share it here.
Around 30 minutes ago I decided to take another attempt at tethering my laptop and blackberry for internet...
I did it about a year ago with a blackberry 8700 and some software I bought called shark modem, the end result was garbage.
Anyways, today I have a pearl and a macbook so I tried to do it via bluetooth.
Anyways, I found this page...
"How do I use my Blackberry Pearl as a bluetooth modem with a Mac?" from the Ask Dave Taylor! Tech Support Blog
And thought sweet, that will be easy. I followed the instructions until I got to the part about using the wap access for cingular....I searched and couldnt find any anwers on how to do this with rogers.
Anyways, I found this as rogers wap access and punched it in..
Connection: GPRS
username: wapuser1
password: wap
APN: internet.com
Shut off airport and connected via my blackberry and bluetooth, no problems whatsoever, the net even seems pretty zippy. So, all in all, im ready to go anywhere I can find a rogers phone connection and have connectivity.
Again, not really exciting but somebody may eventually come along looking for this info.
