This is the one thing keeping me from the N900. I live in an area where there little to NO GSM coverage but lots of fast CDMA coverage. If there is no way to pull data from an external device like a blackberry i many have to drop the NIT as my pocket computer and go looking to other solutions.

While at CES this last week i was getting mixed massages from Nokia about the ability to leach data off of another devices data connection. I got both a yes, a no, and one maybe in time.

From poking around in the setting and such on a demo N900 there is no easy way to get a phone set up as a data portal. If i am remembering correctly some of the newer BB have wifi and there was a project out there to create an app that would allow you to share your phone's data over wifi. If you are not a total crackberry addict, i know windows mobile has an ICS app.

And if anyone knows a workaround to get data from a blackberry (I have a Pearl so no Wifi) to the N900 over BT let me know. I will order an N900 tonight if i can get my data off my blackberry llike i have been doing for years with the n8x0.
