I think I might have gotten it to work for a brief period a second time by hard booting both devices (battery out) but I know it didnt stay connected for long, and when the Pearl (mine anyway) takes about 8 minutes to "reboot" this wasnt a good solution for me. So I gave up and bought a Nokia 6133 for $30.00 US and I use that when I need a cell connection to the internet.

Man, my patience is wearing thin. I recently picked up a T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve (8320) and tried getting it tethered with my N800 via Bluetooth. Like the poster I quoted, I was able to get it connected ONCE, but only after using these settings I found on another thread:


Anyway, here's what I did:

1. Pair the phone with the N800, making it a trusted device
2. Go to Control Panel > Connectivity > Connections > New
3. Click Next on the Connection Setup Welcome screen
4. Set the connection name you want, and Connetion type: GPRS, click Next
5. Access point name: wap.voicestream.com, Dial-up number: *99***1#, click Next
6. Click Advanced > Other
7. Supplementary AT commands: AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com", click OK
8. You should now be able to click the Connection icon in the status bar and click Change connection... to switch to your new connection


It connected and I was able to surf a web page or two, loaded up the home page and google.com and then stopped responding. After that, all I get is the server error message, which I guess is better than "internet connection failed", but it's still not working either way.

I should note that I tried all the previous settings listed in this thread (and others) and this was the only configuration that worked, even though it only worked once and briefly at that.

Any ideas are appreciated and If anybody gets a T-Mobile Curve let me/us know if you have any luck!
