Anyone have luck using the N800 to dial up through a blackberry pearl? I know the pearl is one of the few blackberrys to support DUN but I have no idea what steps I would need to take to make it work. I know it has no problems connecting to my previous SE W810i, and my inlaws RAZR.
I ca use cingular with my slvr and the n800 if you need the settings I can provide them. HOWever I think I read that cingular locked out the DUN on the pearl
NO the pearl will not work.... i have the pearl for tmobile and have gotten it paired with everything but linux ... there is something about blackberry and linux that dont mix .. with my pearl and the n800 i can connect to it and transfer pics and music but thats it.. ive spent the last 4 months tryin to get it to work with linux .. ive done wvdial ,kppp, 770, N800 ...... NOTHING NOTHING!!!!!! WORKS .. turn in your pearl now while you still can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what's the real story here? Some claim to have gotten the Pearl working with the N800, others say its impossible. Obviously, somebody is wrong...
I have no luck at all getting my N800 to use the Pearl as a DUN device. I can pair the two, and the Pearl appears in the list of devices from the N800 Connection Manager. However, there are no Supported profiles listed.
When I take the SIM card out of my Pearl and put it into my Nokia 9300, the N800 finds the 9300, pairs with it, and with ZERO configuration gets out on the Internet. Now, clearly Nokia devices work with each other much better than non-Nokia devices, but can we get a final ruling on the Pearl?
It doesn't. And I've yet to see anyone report otherwise. I gave up and ordered v3xx for 3.5mbps download on cingular 3g anyways. Hope I have better luck with it.
It will not work with the Pearl and Cingular. On the Pearl, go into Options... Bluetooth... Option and you'll see that there are no services ror dialup networking. You should only see services for Headset, Handsfree, Desktop Connectivity and Wireless Bypass.
If you go into Options... Advanced... Services Book you will also not see anything related to dialup networking.
Unfortunately, had I known this, I probably would have opted for a different phone. As it stands, should I need dialup, I carry around my old RAZR, which was a snap to set up.
A pain to move SIM cards between phones, but it works.
Has anyone made any further progress with this. Just upgraded to BB Pearl last month - Hope this will get resolved. I keep getting 'remote server not responding' message
So far, the word is as follows, just to clear up the FUD that's been spread around:
1) The Pearl works as a BT DUN device with Windows.
2) With some script jiggering, it does the same under Mac OS X.
3) With extensive tinkering, it doesn't work at all under any Linux flavor.
Either the Pearl is set to *not* work with specific BT stacks, or there's just something missing on the Linux side of the equation which needs to be fixed.
Poking around in the BT settings, or looking at the service books, doesn't really help here, since the Pearl provides a BT DUN profile to some devices, and not others.
dang.
