The Sprint PCS Connection Manager software is not ready for Vista yet but if you download the latest BB Desktop Manager software 4.2 SP1 it will work fine with a manual connection.

Vista doesn't recognize the unit for DUN connection with Vista yet. Known issue and RIM is working on it

Thanks a lot!!! I have Sprint, it works just the same. However Sprint does not use name and password. Those fields must be left blank.

Coverage area is not an issue. I am in the NYC metro area.
