Blackberry tether mode

I have the Blackberry 8330 and it is generally a good device. Yes, it occasionally looses it's mind and has to be given a hard reset, but otherwise, I can get online, check email, view (tiny) presentations and so on. The best is the function I rarely have to use, but LOVE when I do.

Tether mode is something every business person should have. (at least those without a dedicated air card!) I have used it on vacation at the beach, in airports and other remote locations. Yes, I know I should not have to check email on vacation, but what do you think pays for the vacation? You have to earn the cabbage some how so occasionally taking a meeting from vacation is a minor annoyance made easier with this capability.

I installed the connection manager from Verizon and all I have to do now is plug in the phone and go. Of course, if you are using this feature, make sure you are on an unlimited plan for data or you will be hurting at billing time!
