Maui has a lounge?  HA?  How do you have access to it?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Can't be done. Ive tried it with my torch. Will work with android phones if you root them. I have my Veiwsonic tablet connecting to my samsung captivate.

Best option if your phone isnt an android is to get the 3g mobile hotspot from Trueconnect. Seems pretty reasonable.

Probably easiest to buy a prepaid cellcom sim and stick it in a unlocked android phone. That's what I did last time I was in Israel.

The problem isn't the tablet or android. Its Blackberry. They are locked down very tight. Have you ever heard of a ROOTED blackberry. I havn't. That's why they have the corporate/goverment market locked up. I havn't spoken to one network admin that would willingly switch users from a blackberry as nothing else is as secure. There is talk of Blackberry putting in a mobile hotspot feature in its next batch of phones. Then this will all be moot.
