Ryan, are you sure your cell phone plan allows you to tether? I had the same spinning circle issue with my Verizon BlackBerry, and it’s because my plan doesn’t allow me to tether.

I’m attempting to do this with my Blackberry Pearl 8130 and Macbook. The one thing that is weird to me is that my bluetooth menu on my computer looks different then all of these posts and some of the steps seem to need certain things. Also when my bluetooth device is setting up and access the internet with your phone’s data connection is check then I click continue, it says configuring services and the spinning circle thing is going but it just continues doing this… How long is this configuring services supposed to take, I feel like I’ve been sitting here for awhile.

I had real trouble trying to use bluetooth and persisted until I was able to tether my blackberry via USB. I am on Verizon and I have gotten this to work on my old 8830 and my new curve. I have been getting speeds of 400-500.
