Ok, Ok, I get it - I'm not cool and I'm not hip because I don't have an iPhone. I know so because my Dad even asked me this weekend what I thought of the iPhone because he was thinking of getting one. Eek! I can't be upstaged technologically by my Dad. I can just hear him now "Hey Chris, there's an app for that!".
But here's something that's pretty cool about my Blackberry Tour - it is also a modem for my laptop.
So that's right - no more paying for an additional wireless card subscriptions, or roving to the nearest Starbuck's for my free 2 hours per day. I can go outside to the park, plop down at the picnic table, plug in my phone and VOILA - I am online!
Besides, I really love my trackball (I really wish I had a Centipede game downloaded). It's great for scrolling down webpages really fast. And touch screen technology doesn't work well with my acrylic nails (Men, I know you all secretly are giggling and I don't care!)
Would you like to know how to do this, too? Follow these simple instructions to set up your Blackberry Tour (powered by Verizon) to also act as a modem:
1. Download VZ Access Manager by visiting http://www.vzam.net.
2. Save the program to your desktop and then install.
3. Launch the program, plug in your phone via the USB cord provided for the phone when you purchased it, and then Detect the Phone. Do this by selecting Options, then Detect Wireless Device and then select Smartphone.
Then, when you have connected, you will see your Blackberry listed as an additional connection available:
The last step is for you to select your phone as the connection and Click Connect WWAN in the bottom right corner. Then you will receive one last screen that looks like this:
Chances are if you have a Blackberry Tour you have a data plan. This is your one warning from Verizon to make sure you have an unlimited data plan so you don't get one of those 500 page long bills with lots of zeros in the amount due.
That's all there is to it! So go outside, get some sun and work done at the same time!
