Berry4All gives you access to your BB Ev-Do modem - www.berry4all.com.

It has been working solid for about a year, never had a problem with it,
even roaming down south. Not to say that the Droid won't be an
improvement and I'll probably eat the ETFs to get one, just that
everyone should be able to use their Ev-Do modems in their BB since they
are paying an extra data rate.
