Sprint 7130 BlackBerry working as EV-DO modem!
I bought a Sprint 7130 BlackBerry today and I now have it working as an EV-DO modem within Parallels!
I'm using the Beta Update, and this didn't work for me in the GA release.
When I first installed the Beta Update, I re-tested the USB functionality using a T-Mobile 7100. With the Beta Update I was able to use that BlackBerry as a modem, but due to the phone's limitations it was slow. But it encouraged me to buy the 7130.
For others that are trying this, hear are some more details:
It took me several attempts to get this working. Finally, I installed an older version of the BB Desktop Manager. The file that I installed from was called 40119dt.exe.

My first post was truncated. Grrr. Here are the rest of the details.
The 7130 came with a 4.1 version of Desktop Manager, but Sprint has another earlier version (40033) available on their website.
I installed the older version of Desktop Manager prior to installing the Sprint Connection Manager.
When I installed the Sprint Connection Manager, I did NOT include the Blackberry device drivers.
After that, everything just worked. Plugged in the 7130, it was recognized by Desktop Manager and the EV-DO connection went through without a hitch.
As a bonus, I also enable Internet Connection Sharing for the Sprint connection, so now my host OS can also piggy back on the EV-DO!

The key, at least for me was to leave the blackberry desktop manager running before I started up the Sprint Connection Manager. Once the BBDM saw the device, then the SCM saw the phone and it was THEN able to connect.
via the Speak Easy speed test, 540k down and 84k up.
Nice.

Ipaq
I have never been able to get an IPAQ 3635 to sync using ActiveSync 4.2. It shows up as a USB device in device manager, but ActiveSync never finds it. I amusing 1920 on a new Core 2 Duo iMac 2 gb ram.

With RC2 (1920) the iSigth is now recognized by Windows XP SP2 in Parallels!Andrew @ Parallels said:
The driver is available from Apple (you have to extract it from Bootcamp)!
The problem is once the iSight is seen by XP, confirmed by a dong-ding, a second later, XP will issue a ding-dong to confirm it has been disconnected. A second later a dong-ding, etc. continuously connecting, disconnecting. It is unusable. So it is very close to be solved, but still the last road block needs to be removed.
I have a MacBook Pro with integrated iSight. To connect it in Parallels, I use the USB button in the bottom right of the screen and I check the iSight in the menu.
Hope Parallels is looking at it, since I reported the problem to no answer yet.

Compared to some of the other things they share, it is, frankly, nowhere near as complex.
For my part, my Toro TimePod for programming sprinklers stopped working in 1922 and 1940. 5-10 seconds deal. It was working before. I wonder if my 8125 cell phone will still work.
sigh
Another USB glitch on Build 1940 with a HASP4 USB 1.33 dongle
Stickup reads:
USB device you are trying to connect to the virtual machine is being used by another process. Wait 5-10 seconds, then try to connect the device again. If this does not help, find the application that blocked up the device and disconnect it manually.
This is a major issue for me since the only reason I have to use XP (and therefore Parallels) is the Brain Innovations 'Brain Voyager 2000' software that requires said dongle.
Equipment: Mac Pro Core Duo 2 2 GHz / 2GB RAM / OS 10.4.8 / XP

Hello Parallels.
I installed build 3120, on a Mac Pro, but found that it kept trying endlessly to install a "USB subsystem" or something.
As a result, I couldn't get my USB dongle working. Had to go back to 1970.
I tried build 3094 just for shape. It had the same problem.
bye,
