Dell Mobile Broadband Wireless (Verizon) Config on Windows 7 Solved!
Thanks to all who posted regarding this issue. I have a M2300 with the built in Novatel card for Verizon. I have been unable to install the DMBCU under Windows 7. The install always rolls back.
The solution (atleast for me) turned out to be ridiculously simple.
If Windows 7 recongized the chip, it would show up as "Novatel Wirelss CDMA" in the devices section.
1. Create a new "Dial Up Connection"
2, Set the Dialing phone number to *99#
That is it! Connect using that connection.
Full credit due to the hint I found at

Just an FYI - the DMBCU works just fine in Win 7 beta x64 when you troubleshoot compatibility on it. I haven't tried the installer on Win7 RC1 x32 yet, but maybe it works now. It still works fine in Win7 x64 RC1 compatibility.
Also, there's a new A04 driver for the 5720 Verizon that specifically states it will now install in Windows 7.
