I don't realy want to be carrying a laptop out with me, the idea was that we could use the internet from our room or sat outside at the hotel, usually hotel WiFi is expensive and the range is very limited, the idea of the dongle would give a little more flexibility, I can do free WiFi from my phone but as it's only a Blackberry the screen is not the best for internet browsing

You should be able to link to your Blackberry via wifi and use that to access internet..as mentioned above, it is called tethering.

I can get WiFi from my laptop, that's not the reason for my question, I want a reliable internet dongle so we can use the laptop without being limited to a very small area of the hotel and paying OTT for the privelidge.

Just google BlackberryForum, and then search 'How to use Blackberry as a modem'. Save us both a lot of time and effort trying to explain here

Perhaps instead of being rude you could understand that not everyone may be as techy as you, by linking the laptop to my blackberry I was thinking you were suggesting I use the phones WiFi which obviously is not what I wanted.

Rude??? Wow.....
