No, I tried last night and this morning.

It seems that the blackjack doesn't support the necessary Bluetooth profiles needed "Dial-Up Networking", "Generic Serial". It doesn't seem right... then again, it could be a crippled bluetooth stack thanks to Cingular. They say on their support page they require a usb cable.

Blackjack bluetooth profiles:
Service Discovery
AV Remote Control Target
Voice Gateway (2x)
OBEX Object Push
Network Access Point
A2DP

As a comparison, Mot Q's bluetooth profiles:
OBEX File Transfer
OBEX Object Push
Generic Serial
Dial-up Networking
Audio Gateway (2x)
Network Access (2x)

Until we get a modified bluetooth stack somehow (maybe it's there, but disabled) or Samsung corrects this (or not) I'm not sure if this can be used as a bluetooth modem - I'd love to be proven wrong. So far (other than the mac issue) it's been great.

has anyone done it through usb?

Someone on HF has - howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047106

I haven't had a chance to try it yet - but it looks good to me.

I tried to tether my blackjack to my macbook pro via that forum but it didn't work.  Has anyone had any success at tethering their blackjack to a macbook pro via either usb or bluetooth?  If so, can you please give details on how you accomplished this?

The issue seems to be related to the modem scripts used.

I followed the steps, with the exception of the modem script they suggested and replaced it with Ross Barkman's GPRS script.

http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
Specifically: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/files/WindowsMobileGSM2006-10.zip

I would highly suggest reading the readme included, as well as the webpage if you have the time (dense and not easy on the eyes).

I used the generic GSM script with success. It's slower than my the wireless performance on my PC, but it "works". No time to test more yet.

Hope that works for you.

I just got it to work through USB on my blackjack.

I have OS 10.4.8

download Ross Barkmans Generic 3G scripts
 http://www.taniwha.org.uk/files/Generic3G2004-09.sit
extract the .sit
move 'Generic 3G CID1' to /Library/Modem Scripts/
set the phones USB mode to modem, then connect

Open the control Panel, and choose network
choose 'SAMSUNG CDMA Technologies' in the Show menu
choose the modem tab
choose 'Generic 3G CID1' in the modem menu
choose the ppp tab
 Service Provider: Cingular
 Account Name: ISP@CINGULAR.COM
 Password:  CINGULAR1
 Telephone Number: isp.cingular

I am in an EDGE network, and Firefox will sustain a 20KBytes/sec download.
Note the on a mac the phone number is NOT *99#, it is 'isp.cingular'


I hope this helps someone

cody121, you are awesome!  Thank you so much for posting the solution for tethering my blackjack to my macbook.  I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now.  I'm also getting incredibly fast connection speeds here in Jacksonville, FL.   Results from dslreports speed test:
download: 930 kbps
upload:  349 kbps

again, thanks man!

That should be interesting.

As OS X is BSD under the covers, these tips should work for Linux as well.

Thanks a ton, cody121...that did the trick for me. I had tried a number of different things, but in the end, it was the isp.cingular that I was missing. I had tried *99# as well as wap.cingular, neither of them working...as soon as I tried your suggestion, voila!!!

I'm using the following:
Samsung BlackJack
Macbook Pro 2ghz 15"
USB tether
Your recommended settings - I'm seeing 45Kbps down (5.5KB) and 34Kbps up (4.3KB) on the EDGE network, so it's basically as I expected. Can't wait to see what it does in 3G areas :-)

Thanks again!
