Unless you’ve changed a ton of the links in your hacking, use the thumbpad shortcut to access the internet, and remember that this DOES USE YOUR MINUTES so use it sparingly during weekdays.  I got a data cable today for the enV vx9900 and when plugged in it does allow BitPim to auto detect the phone.  I’m using version 1.0 and you still have to switch to the 8700 and do a get data from the phone THEN switch back to the 9900 before you can actually write data without BitPim spitting up all over you (like it was with manual setup and bluetooth).
