    Blackberry Curve, can be used as a modem. Why have an Aircard when you can use your Blackberry phone. Sprint users is #777 dial code, and there are websites that give dial codes for T-mobile, ATT, Verizon, and others. I use it most every day.

    Rjortberg, Yes, It is as fast as any aircard (not that aircards are that fast and it depends on the network your in) Im on mine now. They have "3G" and "4G" Networks.

    Chip,

    When a call comes in, and your on the Modem, I have mine set to answer calls, It will automatically Roll to Phone call, And You will have to reconnect. (You can set your phone to ignor calls and stay connected or to roll to call).

    When Im In Upload mode, I Turn my Auto call responce off as so not to disturb the upload.

    Here is a link, so that you can set up to use your blackberry as a modem. Pretty much step by step instructions. Use this link.
