Good for you! How did you do it? Could you let me know? Also, do you have a software for it that you can use iSycn or iCal to sinchronize?

Yes, there is software but the phone was just released tuesday. I got it when the store opened (i'm such a geek). The software is not ready for the pearl yet, although pocketmac said that it would be ready in a couple of weeks.
I entered the settings in bluetooth preferences and networking preferences and downloaded a modem script from a guy from the blackberry forums. And it works flawlessly!

Thanks a lot! However, this link does not provide detailed instructions, and when I went to look for them at the other forum, I got completely lost. Could you please provide me with another link that gives the detailed instructions for this? I would really appreciate it!

1. Go back to the link I provided previously and download the Modem Script for the BlackBerry 8100, It will download as a txt. file. Once you download it delete the file extension and move in into modem scripts in your library.
2. Make sure your BB is paired with your computer. You will have to go open up bluetooth preferences and either setup, or configure your existing settings for your BB. When you run the setup wizard again it will ask you if you want to use the modem services for the phone. Select the GPRS setting. On the next screen it will ask you to find the modem script for it locate the modem script, which is what you downloaded in step 1.
3. On the BB go to option/advanced options/tcp/ and under the APN settings enter "wap.voicestream.com" leave username and password blank.
4. Open up dial-up the networking preference on the mac. Make sure you have selected to configure the bluetooth network. under the PPP tab enter "guest" for username and password. For Dial Up Number or CID string (same box) enter "wap.voicestream.com". make sure the bluetooth is turned on both the computer and phone.
5. Open up the Internet connect app on the mac and connect.
I hope i didn't miss anything.
Hope this helps.

FYI the voicestream comment is for T-MOBILE. The following settings are for CINGULAR:
In Internet connect:
Telephone Number: WAP.CINGULAR
Account Name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
A BlackBerry-specific Modem Script is required. I used this script (from here) to make my Cingular Pearl (BlackBerry 8100) give my computer access to the Internet.
Just save the script and drag it into /Library/Modem Scripts, then go back into Internet Connect, select "Edit Configurations" from the Configuration drop-down, add a new config with the "+" button (I called mine "BlackBerry"), enter in the above info, and set the modem to "BlackBerry 8100" (if you put the Modem Script in the right place, it will show up in the list).
