Many Pocket PCs/Blackberry Smart Phones draw a USB Root Hub
limit of 500mA of current. Different devices draw different amounts of
current. If the device is USB-2.0 then it is routed to an Enhanced
controller/hub. If USB1(.l) then it routes to one of several Universal
controller/hubs on your motherboard.
To check USB Bandwidth and Power consumption.
Open Device Manager. (Run (Type) DevMgmt.Msc [Enter]
1.) Expand the USB category
2.) Double-Click each Controller - when the details box opens click
the Advanced (TAB) it will display the total % of bandwidth used
and system reserved.
3.) Double-Click each Root Hub, from the details box click the Power
(TAB). It will show the total current draw on the hub.
I'd consult with the vendor. If the notebook can't natively handle a
Blackberry you'd be advised to return it.

Can't sincronize my blackberry with new notebook using Windows vista. A
message on the blackberry says that the USB port doesn't have enough
power. I
check all in the device driver and all is OK. I can conect a camera do any
of
the ports. Nothing else is conected to the usb ports. Is that a windows
vista
problem?
