I can't touch on verizon but I tether my att bold to a macbook while on the road via bluetooth using standard os modem app. I run a citrix connection perfectly while making phone calls. Drains th battery like crazy but works well! Locations tested range from DC to Boston.
If anyone has tested the 5.0 software on an att bold please contact me directly. I want to test drive it but want to discuss risks first.

If you read the fine print on the agreement you'll see that Verizon caps usage at 5GB per billing cycle. Most carriers do this.

What people don't know about air cards is the data usage is very low for what you pay for. Whereas the BB is unlimited.

When we purchased them we were under the impression that we could tether them to our PC and use the Internet. We have Verizon. I can't seem to get the VZ Manager software to detect the phones. I talked to Verizon Tech Support and they said the phone firmware version 5.0 doesn't work. Does anyone know a work around?
