BlackBerry

BlackBerry 8700G

This is on Fedora 12 Alpha. Connected the BlackBerry just to see what would happen. Nothing much. No notifications have popped up telling me that I've inserted a device.

Additionally, lsusb shows the phone is connected and fully recognizes it.

The phone does appear to be charging, which is more than I could have ever expected with earlier releases of Fedora. Think I'll have a look-see to find a phone application.
