Using my blackberry to surf the web w my IMAC....

[alibabah]

Does anyone know if it is possible to take  my Blackberry 8330 and plug into my IMAC and be able to use the internet.

Someone told me I could, I downloaded pocket Mac software and that dosen't really help.

You need VZAccess manager and they have software for the Mac.  Download here---> http://www.vzam.net

Also you will need to call VZW and add the Tether package onto your existing data package for an additional $30 a month although right now according to Chileman VZW is offering free 30 trial till the end of Sept if you just wanna check it out.  You must cancel before the end of your 30 days or you will be charged.  I use it and I luv it.  Hope this helps.

While Justin is correct about the location for VZ Access manager download, if you check out the support page here, you'll see there is not a MAC client for Blackberry at this time. So it's Windows only for Blackberry.

There is some third party support out there for Blackberry and MAC. {keep it legal}

My apologies, I just knew the site URL, I didn't realize there was no actually software on there for the BB.  Noted for future reference.

Why would you want to? Wi-FI and Wireless N is soooo much Faster! I could understand if it was a Laptop.
