I guess I am a late early adopter of new technology.
Posting to see if anyone else has run into this as well as for information for others.
I have called Vzw and had the EVDO added to my account.
I did the update of the roaming list, etc. Updated Host Routing Table.
I think it was the number in the FAQ that I called but not remember 100% for sure but whatever number I called I was then instructed to call Customer Care since I was a b2b user. I was also told I would need my company's tax #, but that was not asked for when I talked to Customer Care. I was asked for my Company's name and their zip code.
Now I am to the point of trying to download the Desktop Mngr software. When I try to download the Desktop Manager I get the following message.
The number you have entered is not a valid Verizon Wireless phone number. To join in call Verizon Wireless at 1.800, etc, etc.
This number was ported from AT&T, either in early 2005 or late 2004. The odd thing is my wife's phone number works, she is now a Verizon customer although up until two weeks ago she had been a AT&T (Cingular) customer. She does not have a BB, I was just testing another number to see if I could get the software to download.
I did download the software using my wife's number but now when I try to install it, it fails.
Details on fail / specific error message to follow, once I run through it one more time.

Going to try to dl the software again, and try to re-install, will post more.
If that does not work I am going to give Vzw a call back to try to find out why I can't dl the software using my BB phone #.
