Blackberry compatibility

Matt Dunshie

I am using a g4 with Osx and I have a RIM7100 blackberry. I have been told
that I can sync the two, but I have been unable to do it. There tech line
only supports PC's.

Can anyone help?

BlackBerry:

User Report: We've been testing BlackBerry compatibility with Entourage
and have had complete success using the PocketMac product (see note
below) - with the single exception of encryption, which they are
working on.

We've been able to sync email, contacts and calendaring. These of
course are the big three necessities. Essentially our Mac users who
want BlackBerries will have all the functionality that our Windows
users currently have - including encryption, though that will have to
be accommodated with a one-time or once-per-month change on a PC.

Looks like PocketMac or Mark/Space might be the solution?

I'll attest to the PocketMac recommendation. I'm using a T-Mobile
BlackBerry 7100t and with a little tweaking, it syncs nicely with Entourage
2004.

I say "tweaking" because PocketMac makes an important and incorrect
statement by saying the BlackBerry can only store one address, which is not
true. This requires what I consider a workaround...

In the set up, you select whether it is the work or home address that is
synced. By setting it to home, only the WORK address is synced, but it is
synced as home and work addresses.

By setting the desired to address to "work" the home and work addresses are
correctly synced.
