I upgraded my 7250 today. It went flawlessly, even though it took about 30 minutes. (Lots of data on my Berry and several OTA applications.

This afternoon, I used the VZAccess software to use the Berry as a modem. I already have one of their EVDO cards, so when I installed the software, it saw the previous version of VZAccess and grabbed that number. I decided to let it go to see what happened. Ta Da... I am typing this on the connection!! Speeds are the same as with the card. I do not live in an EVDO area, so I can't wait to get somewhere to give it a try.

I believe I will uninstall the software and try it with my Berry # to see if it will still connect. I haven't gotten an answer from my Rep yet about how much Broadband Access is to add to the plan.

Anyone try connecting with Bluetooth in the VZAccess software yet? I think you could fake it out by chosing the serial connection option. I can't try it yet, I believe our BES has the additional BT connectivity turned off. That will be the first thing I check in the AM.
