When i had my first blackberry im sure when teathered as a modem to my laptop i used to be able to continue to use the phone, would receive emails and be able to chat on msn bbm etc etc, but on my 9700 and 9800 it goes to "modem mode" and in this seems to render the phone useless..
Any advantages to this im missing that make it worth the sacrifice? if not why the change?? is there a way around this?
cheers.
