Treo 800w as a Macbook Modem?
My office has switched me from the very reliable AT&T Blackberry Curve to a Sprint Treo 800w because Sprint is giving the company I work for the service at such a huge discounted rate. Also my company saves money by not using the Blackberry service (a comparison of $25 per month versus $5 per month).
Of course it doesn't matter that you are paying the extra for reliability and quality. With the AT&T service I had worldwide coverage and I had a signal 98% of the time, never dropped calls and my blackberry never locked up unlike the Microsoft OS phones I have which every one has locked up on me forcing me to remove the battery to reset it.
Anyhow, now that I have this Microsoft Treo 800w, does anyone know how to use it as a modem with my macbook running Leopard? I use to have the AT&T USB Aircard, which was very fast and always worked on my mac using software called SierraWatcher.
Any help is most appreciated?

... It's possibly but the key is to have Internet Sharing enabled on your Microsoft phone prior to pairing it with your Macbook. Check out this forum for more information. Also I strongly suggest "Missing Sync" by Mark/Space which will help you put your photos, videos, contacts, etc.. on your Treo 800w from my Mac pretty easily. The unfortunate part is it will cost you $40 but nothing else out there will do this same task. What is nice is since the Treo 800w supports bluetooth, you can sync via Bluetooth with your macbook once you have it paired. |
