Blogging Ottinger (tim)RIM BlackBerry Linux USB Driver Support - Signatures
I got my Blackberry finally. It means a lot to me, but mostly that I’m going to be always-in-contact. The net and email is cool, but the idea that I’ll be in communication with peers and family while away is better. My old phone was seriously less functional, especially wrt European cell standards (GSM).
Sadly, I can’t do much with a BlackBerry from Linux (my main OS) because of a lack of driver support. If you find yourself in similar straits, you might consider the RIM BlackBerry Linux USB Driver Support Petition. Why not? It couldn’t hurt.
I guess we should/could write to RIM. I wonder what address is appropriate? And I wonder if they’re already intending to have some kind of support for this in the near future? It would be cool if they’re cooperating and we’re just impatient.
