Tethering and Streaming for BlackBerry Smartphones

WIND BlackBerry Bold 9700 customers can now tether and stream with their smartphones. For those of us who are not BlackBerry product experts, here’s what it means. Tethering is the ability to use your smartphone as a modem to get your computer online. You’ll get the same internet service that you get on your smartphone if you have the Infinite BlackBerry add-on. Other BlackBerry customers can tether their phones, but will be charged the pay-per-use data rate. Get step-by-step instructions on how to tether your BlackBerry smartphone here.

Streaming refers to the ability to listen to music and watch video from the web on your BlackBerry smartphone. Our testers have fallen in love with streaming apps Slacker Personal Radio and Nobex Radio Companion from BlackBerry App World.

They also recommended using your internet browser to go straight to m.youtube.com to watch videos or m.moodio.fm to listen to music – no special download required.
