Don't quote me on this but I believe you need a piece of RIM software to get it working. ...
So... You're saying I need some software from RIM?

Randall,
Is this phone blue tooth? If so it should work so far as backups etc to get the data from phone to computer and back again.. Did you try Kandy, of Kitchen sync? Kandy seems to have some sort of scheme to put things into phone books etc. Documents can actually just be put into any sort of folder/file you would want to.
I have had no luck using anything except blue tooth, not even after buying the Motorolla razr( it's what I have here, but expect to get a balckeberry this go round.) But we bought the usb cord they sold for the razr and it just never would sync w/ the box...
Other than that if you get any more info, please post it.. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested. ;)
So far, all we've tried was to access the device from Windows running in VMware, which led us to the whole issue about VMware USB access not working at all under openSuSE 10.2. KitchenSync came up in our research, but not Kandy. I don't think he's tried either of them, yet. He's not at his desk right now, so I haven't yet got an answer about whether his Blackberry (a 7100t, if I recall correctly) has Bluetooth or not. Thanks for the information. I'll look into KitchenSync and Kandy a bit more. We also discovered there's a Linux user's "Corner" on BlackberryForums.com (<http://www.blackberryforums.com/linux-users-corner/>).
