Bit long-winded, but with cm7 you can set your vega as the access point, connect your blackberry wifi to that.

Then install socks/http/https proxy app like https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/6506 on the blackberry.

As BB and Vega are on same wireless lan vega can then TCP to the proxy bound to wifi interface on bb and use the bb cellular dataplan.

Might also be possible with 2.2 with kernel re-compile and fiddling to get vega to be adhoc.

This isn't the same as using the BB as a modem, but with socks, SSH tunneling, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP proxies available may be good enough for 99% of users.

I realise this will only help people in the same position as me, but it seems to be the simplest way to utilise my companies BB data instead of my personal o2 data especially when abroad for work.

I just swap the sim cards over so the BB one is in the HTC Desire and use the Wifi Hotspot. I think my Desire must have been unlocked from day one as I have not requested it and the the BB is on Vodafone, whilst the HTC was on O2.

There are PLENTY of new Android tablets that have WIFI and BLUETOOTH but don't have 3G / Cellular support... tethering these devices to phones that DO have 3G connections is a no brainer, but the device has to support DUN protocol, not just PAN.

So, what gives, and why isn't there an Android app that does DUN?
