Tethered Modem (3.75)
The Blackberry 8703e can act as a modem for your computer via USB cable. To enable this support, you must install the Blackberry
Desktop software on your PC. This will install the device driver. You can then create a dial up networking profile to dial into Sprint's data network. To use the connection you must have the 8703e connected to your computer and it must be recognized by the desktop software. Overall setup is quick and easy. Unfortunately, we were unable to connect via Bluetooth, which disappointed us. Before you begin using your Blackberry as a dial up modem, you should check with Sprint to ensure that your data plan supports it.
GPS (5.0)
The Blackberry 8703e is GPS capable but does not include any built in software to use this capability. There are several third party applications available to take advantage of the GPS capabilities, and you can also use it with several Sprint services.
