Use the BlackBerry® Smartphone Simulator to simulate a serial or USB connection between the BlackBerry device and the BlackBerry® Desktop Software. Typically, you simulate a serial port connection for BlackBerry devices that use a cradle, and a USB connection for BlackBerry devices that do not use a cradle.

After you set this option, you can perform any of the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager operations, such as loading applications onto the BlackBerry device that you simulate.
