I have the BB Curve 8330 on Alltel/Verizon, can I use it as a modem for my computer? I know Alltel supports it, but am I able to do this with the 8330?

You can do it, but you need to pay for the tethering plan.

What about on the sprint network? I have the blackberry data plan and have no clue how the modem feature works.

there used to be an app for this for the iphone. hopefully when the new app store comes out there will be something for us

It's amazing how that search button works, isn't it?

It's actually easy to do - IF your provider supports it and you either have a plan that includes it or you're willing to pay for it.

I do it a half dozen times a year for work, and all it takes is plugging in the cable to the laptop and BB, and then opening the smartview program (yup, I have Sprint too) that allows the computer to connect.

Simple, stable, and easy.

I know of a way to tether your (Verizon) BB to your computer without having to pay for Broadband Access, but I'm not sure if I should share it here.

Well if it's illegal than I would not share it.
