Just curious if anyone out there is running this on the Windows 7 Beta (32 bit), and if so the successes or problems they're having.

It's running fantastic on my Vista laptop, but I plan on semi-retiring it when my new Dell Mini 9 comes in. I ordered the Ubuntu one to save cash, because I plan to run the Windows 7 Beta on in anyway(I've heard amazing things about 7 on netbooks). This would be a major selling point, because I will be traveling primarily with the Mini 9 rather than my 17".

Any information is appreciated!

This is a quote from a beta tester:
"That fixed it thank you. FYI: I am running it on Windows 7 beta and it has been flawless."

I installed Windows 7 beta 32bit to test as Vista 64 was not supported when I started beta testing. It worked great, no problems; this was under boot camp on my MB Pro. Windows 7 surprised me. It seems to work. Did Microsoft finally get something right??? It still isn't OS X, but it is leaps and bounds over Vista.

I have tested it both under 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 and have not had any issues at all under either platform. Both platforms responded in a very satisfactory manner.

Can you make sure your running the latest version of the BlackBerry Device Manager. This error seems to be caused when using an older version.

Can you try and download the newest version of the BlackBerry USB and Modem drivers from the RIM website?

Thanks
