[...] It seems almost criminal that Mac users have been thus far denied the basic human right to tether the immensely popular BlackBerry 8700 series devices to their Macbooks, but thanks to a little elbow grease, determination, and nearly $700 in cold, hard cash, the world’s wrongs have been righted. An intrepid character by the name of Daniel Pasco has claimed the bounty offered by Alex King, challenging folks to come up with a solution for using an 8700 as a Mac OS X compatible modem. So far, Mr. Pasco’s solution has apparently been verified with the 8700g on T-Mobile and the 8703e on Verizon and Sprint, though we imagine Cingular’s would work just the same. In the short term, it looks like the rough cut of the software will be available only to people that had contributed to the reward, but the solution will hopefully find its way into the public domain down the road.

Wow, I just ran across this, as I was trying to find a solution for my 8700 (Tmobile) and my MacBook.

I would be willing to contribute $$ to get a copy of this script, even in beta or to help testing.

The sooner the better, I’m still traveling around with 2 laptops, as I need GPRS while on the road quite often and only Windows supports it currently. I don’t want to mess with tainting my new MacBook with anything Windows….

Congrats to Daniel – this was a tough nut to crack (I know, I looked at it after making things work with the Pearl).

PaulS – Thanks for thinking of me, but I promise this was a much harder problem! Now if someone would point that we Pearl users have had this for a month to sites like Gizmodo, maybe I’ll put up a tip jar.
