hi guys ..

i am new with blackberry and i am using a bold 2.

i was told that it could be use as a modemn with laptop, could anyone here educate me on what to do?

pls help ..

thank you

Refer to post step-by-step procedure on setting up BB as modem (both PC and Mac) for tethering at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1318414

Please note that you should check with your telco on condition of tethering as some of them have a limitation of data usage, as for Maxis, there is no limitation for unlimited data package.

are you really sure on that part? There is still an * at the end of the so called unlimited from Maxis. deng!!

* Additional monthly data usages will be charged at RM0.005/kB.
* Prices shown are inclusive of data usages for BlackBerry® services
as well as other internet/WAP services.

Or probably the * is for the 2nd part?? they should put as ** instead.

It surprise me with the table shown, I think there should be double asterisk on unlimited data package (i.e. inclusive internet /wap) as I called Maxis CS last week, they confirmed to me only there will be additional data charge on roaming outside Malaysia. I have checked via *100#, there is no additional charge *touch wood*

great || means we will not be charged with any data usage for 1 year rite. This is what the CS guy told me also. Hope there are no hidden charges too.

If they change the plan and condition within the contractual period, I believe, we, consumers have the right to report to MCMC.

hey just wanted to know, lets say u get an im from msn messenger on your bb, will it notify u on your homescreen straight away, or must u actually go into that app to see if you have a new im?

you will be notified.

Hi guys, I'm new to the Bold 9700. Is there any better browser than the original one? Is opera better?

Opera is much better. I also use Bold 1.7 but still prefer the Opera Browser.

Thanks bro, I try find Opera for Blackberry n give it a try.

Edit: Tried Opera Beta 5 don't really like it...

Anymore good browsers? What about Bolt Browser?

NEW BB bold 2 user in da house!!! hahahahah im enjoying my bb now..

Bolt is useless. no differance from ur stndrd browser.

Yea, you are right bro. I just tried it and didn't like it too. Can't zoom in the site etc. Switching back to default browser.

me using Bolt.. its much faster than opera.. u should give it a try..

Some tips... for bolt, use the column view, and turn images to low quality (makes no difference on mobile screen). You'll milk a lot of speed from there.

the camera details is impressive

FINALLY ! I BOUGHT BB BOLD 9700! hahahahah =)) .. very nice n simple .. but bb bold suitable for ladies la =(( .. very small ..

Guys, i realise something with my bb. First of all, my set is from Aussie as im studying here. I realise that when i put bb on top of my holster, where both bottoms are parallel (hopefully u guys clear abt my description), it went into slp mode and i cant wake it up even when i press the keypad. And when IM has new msg, it doesnt ring, only vibrates. Same as i put bb inside holster which also wont ring, only vibrates. 2nd, i have problem with my contacts. Before i delete fb, i was able to choose contact by pressing alphabets. Now i cant which after bb restarted after i delete fb apps. Can anyone help me? Is this normal? Thanks a lot for reading my post! Cheers.

the notification in or out of holster can be different. Check yr profile settings.
