Topic: Blackberry charge

My chumby doesn't have the right driver to charge my Blackberry.  Is that something that can be fixed?

Re: Blackberry charge

Is it driver depandant? I have been using mine to charge my PocketPC and Cell phone since day 1

Re: Blackberry charge

I know RIM updated the windows driver about a year ago.  It allowed for a higher voltage(?) to pass through the USB port.

Re: Blackberry charge

Do they even make a Linux driver?

In any case, "higher voltage through USB" doesn't sound very promising.

i guess i'm not sure of why you would ever want to do this.  the AC charger is *much* faster, and, since your chumby
is already plugged in you have the means necessary.

The Chumby took my wall plug I used for charging.  Leaving it plugged into USB overnight is good for a full charge.
