Default Q9M and MacBook

I just purchased my phone and want to use the phone as a modem to connect my laptop (mac) to the net.

I called verizon, they said the phone is not compatable with the mac.

Has anyone found a way to do this,

Many Thanks,

Craig

search the site for 'Missing Sync' that program will allow you to sync your Q to the MAC
there is an entire forum for Mac's & Q's

well, he wants to use the phone as a modem (PDANet), and yes PDANet will work with a Mac but only wireless

PdaNet supports Vista/Windows XP/2000 and does not support Mac over USB (only Bluetooth DUN is available for Mac).

One note:

after using the phone as a wireless card, you need to deactivate the modem link or you will not be able to use your phone.

While it is activated, I can receive phone calls, but cant make calls, send texts or get emails.
