Hello Nlauriat,
The Verizon Wireless BlackBerry 8830 has not been tested by Parallels developers so we can not guarantee its normal connection via USB cable. However you can connect (and synchronize) BlackBerry to the Guest OS via Apple Bluetooth:
1. Insert the original Leopard DVD into the DVD drive of the Mac.
Connect the disk to the virtual machine by choosing the "Default CD/DVD"
drive under the "Devices - DVD rom" menu.
2. Hold down the Shift key in order to disable the autorun option and
stop the Boot Camp drivers automatic installation. If the Boot Camp
window appears, click on the "Cancel" button to cancel the installation.
3. Open My Computer, right click on the Boot Camp DVD disk, choose the
"Open" option, browse to the "Drivers-Apple" folder. Double click on the
BluetoothInstaller EXE file and let it install.
4. Go into the folder with Apple drivers again and double click on the
BluetoothEnabler driver EXE file and let it install.
5. Now go to the Parallels menu and check the selection for "Apple -
Wireless" which is for the Bluetooth (you will previously have to make
the Bluetooth device get synced to your Mac under Bluetooth -> System
Preferences). Once you select Apple Wireless under the USB choices,
you will see your Virtual Machine connecting to a Bluetooth device - it will
take a few minutes.
On this step when you click "Apple - Wireless" under the USB section you
can lose the connection to Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, if you
are using them. In this case you will have to use the actual Mac
touchpad and keyboard. Later when you uncheck
"Apple - Wireless" from the USB (Parallels), you will get the Bluetooth
mouse/keyboard back.
6. Now you can find the Bluetooth icon in the Control Panel on the
Virtual Machine. Go in there and configure your Bluetooth device on the
Virtual Machine - add the device, enter passkey process -> now you have
bridge from Mac to the Virtual Machine via Bluetooth.
Best regards,
Xenos
