BlackBerry uses...HELP!!! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Three questions.

1. How do I access MSN Mobile Hotmail from my browser (I keep getting Error 502).

2. How do I add my Hotmail address to my e-mail list. It keeps denying me.

3. How do I get my BlackBerry to act as a modem when hooked up to my computer? I got it to be recognised but it wont work.

Thanks guys!

EDIT: YAY! I figured out the answer to #3 with some help of the BlackBerry Lounge Forum.

Try this for your hotmail:
MSN hotmail

To connect your device to your laptop as a modem, you need a plan that allows tethering. It costs a few dollars more.

Hope that helps.

For the tethering look into a program called pdanet. I used it with my Treo last year. It may work for the blackberry. I had a curve but sold it and never tried it!

I like blackberryforums.com. They have tons of info on there. Pretty much anything you can think of. If they don't already have it posted, they're super good about helping people out. Like xdonboard said it's called tethering when you use your blackberry as a modem. You can do it without any programs. Just search tethering on that blackberryforums.com

Get the Freedom Keychain GPS receiver, I've heard good things about it. Its about the size of a keychain remote for your car and it can remain on your keychain while receiving a gps signal while driving.
