Works:

This item has been discontinued, probably because it is not compatible with newer Blackberry phones and is a bit quirky with the older models. It does work with a Blackberry Curve 8703e. I had to download the driver from Think Outside. I am using operating system version 4.2.1.106.
The cradle is practically worthless and the arrow keys often get mixed up. Right turns into Up, etc. The cradle just collapses when I try to use it. A coffee cup works better. Sometimes the unit types gibberish. Reconnecting... more info

Not bad, and considering the other options available, usable.:

I tried contacting the maker to help me connect to my blackberry. I never received a response. I tried for over an hour on the phone with my phone provider and then blackberry to set it up but had no luck. Since this product is made by a third party and not by blackberry they had no way of knowing what products it actually works with.
