I am considering a BlackJack and want to know anyone's experience with:

1. Success in tethering to a MacBook (Intel, but no slots for an aircard)
2. Success in tethering via Bluetooth to a MacBook
3. Real life speed and durability of the connection


I appreciate anyone who can give me some help. I want to know if it is worth it to try it with my MacBook, or just breakdown and buy a MacBook Pro and get an aircard.

and while I haven't tethered, I've made much use of the bluetooth connection to my Mac using Missing Sync and Sailing Clicker. I've got a 2 GB card in the phone allowing me to carry a bit of multimedia around with me(pr0n).

I'd definitely use the macbook setup. Just make sure you have a plan that you can tether with or else $$$$.

Do you use a Blackjack? Do you use bluetooth to connect a laptop?
