Tethering BlackBerry Storm to Mac OS 10.5 over Bluetooth

Finally I can tether my BlackBerry to my Mac and get a connection.  Here is the how to.

1 Pair the BlackBerry to your Mac via Bluetooth

2. Set up the modem for dial up using the following settings:

    Dial Number #777
    Account Name : .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) (Example: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address))
    password vzw

    In advanced setup, under bluetooth Tab choose the following

    Vendor : other
    Model: Verizon support (PC5220)  I have also read that the 5320 profile works.
    Enable Error Correction
    Wait For Dial Tone

I have heard reported that if you want to do this via a USB cable, you must go to http://www.vzam.net/ and download the Verizon Access Manager for pairing the Mac with the Motorola Q.  Haven’t tried it yet, but I think I will give it a whirl in the upcoming days.
