Driver to charge blackberry via usb

Oddly, my doesn't seem to care if the drivers are there or not. It charges on every PC I've plugged it into so far. It'll charge a totally drained battery, actually. Without drivers, it may do a slow minimal charge, or not at all.

The gimmick devices you mention usually show up as a generic device in windows and thus don't need drivers. Blackberries, for the most part, don't show up like that. The problem was that the BB wasn't charging, even though it was getting voltage, and the Charge light on the BB was lit.

One condition of the low price point was that the phone was OEM. No drivers, no cables, and most importantly, no charger. I want to make a cable that I can charge with via PC or wall wart, but I am not sure how this is done. This becomes a problem, because I cannot always keep my desktop on…or turn it on when I need to charge my blackberry.

I guestimate that the resistor puts about 3 volts on the D- pin and causes the blackberry accept the charge. Because the USB cable I am using to charge my device only has 4 pins 5, actually.. Can somebody verify this? My ultimate goal, depending on what information I can gather, is to make a simple cable that can power the blackberry two different ways. Thanks sooo much.

Below is a badly drawn schematic of my cable.
