I searched and found references to PocketMac, which I've used on my Mac Mini, but at this time, on the Intel iMac, I'd like to be able to simply transfer files (ringtones, themes, wallpapers). My BlackBerry is on Cingular's service, and in fact, Bluetooth does work, but even after validating the device, OS X reports that the functionality is not supported. If I plug the BlackBerry in via USB, it's not detected. Is there a simple USB driver, or some quick and dirty app that will allow file transfers? Thanks!

Might look into this "RIM" company :dummy:

Thanks very much. It's really a shame that there isn't native support for the device, but it appears as though the latest update for PocketMac does support/resolve the Intel USB issue. Whether I can transfer files with it (as opposed to just syncing data) remains to be seen, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.
