Slackdemic: I forgot to mention......I do have data plan....I read in several Blackberry forums where its possible, but mine just didn't work.....Technically, the way it works is you let Blackberry software run on your laptop or desktop in the background, conenct Blackberry to the laptop with the USB cable, and add a dial-up in Network settings.....Depending on the service provider, they have a code you have to enter in the Blackberry software running on the laptop......and would work.... Hope its not too confusing......I was wondering if anyone here on Sajha had any luck connecting it that way... Appreciate the replies.
