I use my blackberry to tether to the internet and I can't get an EVDO signal on south Bear. I contacted technical support and was told I am in a fringe area. We made some adjustments to the hardware settings but it didn't help. The tower is in Meredith Center (or on the Center road) so its quite a distance to the island. My son doesn't get a 3G signal on his iPhone either so that pretty much eliminates my blackberry as the problem. I can still connect using the slow speed cell signal. But, I can get an EVDO signal 100 yards off shore. Might have to anchor out and connect from the boat.
