MetroPCS and Android Okay so there seems to be a good amount of people here with Sprint and Verizon as their carrier, but there is not that much support for MetroPCS, which is a growing CDMA provider.
I thought this would be a good place to gather information as far as what can work with the network concerning the HTC Vogue, MetroPCS, and Android. So far this is what I have: Data is for sure working on Donut AOSP, but I did have some issues when trying to connect with facebook and google sync, but I was successfully able to access the internet.

How to tether your BlackBerry for free via Bluetooth (Mac and PC) After our post about TetherBerry, a good friend and BlackBerryCool reader Horia sent us a letter saying the process could easily be done for free via Bluetooth. Here is what he had to say: It depends how much time you have to look into it. For OSX it was a two step process, I didn’t install any 3rd party apps or even the blackberry desktop manager (don’t even know if they make it for mac) but I did have to add a “modem script” to osx so that it can use the blackberry as a Bluetooth data modem, essentially the equivalent of installing a driver in windows.
Once that was done, I just had to create a new dial-up connection, select the modem, put the APN, username and password (all of which are dependent and unique to the cell phone provider, Rogers in my case). After it’s all set and done, I literally just hit connect, wait 3 seconds and I’m online via Bluetooth with the phone still in my pocket. The details of the setup instructions can be found on the CBForums. Click Advanced Under Modem.
