Can anyone help me set up my O2 Blackberry as a modem so that i can use my laptop when i am out.
I am using Vista on my laptop and have a 8300 Curve.
I need step by step instructions as to how i set things up.
Many Thanks

OP, searching and using the BlackBerry FAQs will help you a ton:

Here are links to two tutorials on BlackBerry tethering, one using a USB cord and one via Bluetooth.

You'll need to know the correct APN settings for your carrier and a user name and password, though, so you may want to search "O2" and "APN" or something. You many also have to pay extra for the ability to tether.

I use my T-Mo 8320 as a tethered modem all the time, and it's free and you don't need a user name or password, but that's not the case with all carriers.

o2 charges £1 per mb for tethering but there may be a package you can buy to cover costs for using it in this way.
