As a Mac user, I’m often left on the short end of the BlackBerry stick. I’m sure my compatriots agree. It takes just a bit of ingenuity, though, to get things working decently on the less favored platform. Today, we’re going to discuss how to connect your BlackBerry to your Mac, via Bluetooth, for tethering purposes. The video will go after the jump. Just a word of warning, especially for Verizon customers. If you don’t have tethering capabilities, this won’t work. Or at least it didn’t work for me. Make sure you’re set up with your carrier before you go through this setup process.

For username, phone number, and password information, head over to BlackBerry Forums. They’ve got a listing there.

Thanks to BBForums, as well as Dave Taylor, for giving me the building blocks for this process.

You can also check out our guide to using your BlackBerry as a modem for additional information.
