So, who wants to try this out for all of us?

CodeWeavers, the makers of Crossover Mac (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/) have listed BlackBerry Desktop Software as untested and unsupported as of yet, but it is in their compatability list (http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=1759). So, who is going to be the guinea pig? You can download a trial version here (http://www.codeweavers.com/beta/cxmac/), and then report back to us! Personally, I've used Boot Camp and I am currently running Parallels, but I have yet to try Crossover. Someone take the leap please...

I'll give is a go, I have a Mini I use for beta apps. Is this PowerPC code or Intel?

It's Intel only. I'm still fiddling with it.

I tried version 4.1 and it wont install. I tried all the bottles and it would act like it was installing then would take forever and then would stop installing.

Sadly, I also couldn't get it to install either - the Blackberry splash screen appears (which makes it seems promising) before the whole process siezes up during some extraction step.

Maybe the next release of crossover will work. I really haven't had a lot of luck with it. I can get some stuff to install but then the programs don't run very well or lock up.

I've been installing BB desktop manager 4.2 in a Win2K bottle all morning. :(

It is at the stage where it looks for previous installations. Because every step of the install process has taken a very long time to go through, I am *trying* to be patient. My CPUs are showing themselves under a pretty heavy load. This is mostly a "because I'm curious" sort of task. I've seen a very definitive statement from the devs that USB support does not currently work.

If I see anything that resembles progress, I'll update. If it doesn't go somewhere by tonight, I'm going to kill it and call it lost.

For reference: MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.4.7 (build 8J2135a).

Update:
After letting the installer run for 6 hours, I've given it up for now. I've posted in the Crossover forums, so there is some record of the attempt. Until Crossover supports USB, I don't see much point in pursuing this further.
