I have v3xx and getting my n800 later today.
My V3xx seems to pair OK. I teathered for just a few minutes. You need to modify the default Cingular settings on the n800 from isp@ to wap@ if you only have Medianet data plans.

What steps did people in this thread who've had success use to get their tablets to see the data profile on the Pearl?

I'm using a T-Mobile Pearl, with the -64 OS, and a Nokia 770 with the latest OS2006 version. The 770 is paired with the Pearl, but sees no data profile. When I try to setup the "Phone" control panel (after using the "Mobile operator setup wizard") I get the following:

Selected phone does not have services that can be used. Select another phone.

I see reports of people using the Pearl with a Nokia pad in this thread, so obviously some are getting past this point, or there is another way to hook it all up.

3) With extensive tinkering, it doesn't work at all under any Linux flavor.

Either the Pearl is set to *not* work with specific BT stacks, or there's just something missing on the Linux side of the equation which needs to be fixed.

Poking around in the BT settings, or looking at the service books, doesn't really help here, since the Pearl provides a BT DUN profile to some devices, and not others.
Is this still how things are after 8 months? I am surprised nobody has figured out how to connect after all this time. If it's possible under Mac OS X, it must be possible under Linux. Is there an equivalent of Mac modem scripts on internet tablets? Why can't Linux emulate the Windows BT stack, if my Windows laptop tethers just fine?

I have an n800 (OS2008) and Blackberry Pearl, and have not been able to get dialup networking to work. From what I can see, no progress has been made resolving this.

I'm not running a pearl, I actually have a 8703 and verizon, but I banged my head against the wall for the holiday weekend. This morning I updated my firmware on the Blackberry. After that everything worked fine. I am running OS2008 on the N800.
