Synchronising via Bluetooth directly to Entourage

M

Michael

Hi All,

I currently synchronise my contacts and diary on my cell phone (a
Motorola V600) to Enourage via bluetooth. This currently involves at
least a two stepp process.

Firstly I synchronise Entourage to iCal using the "Sync Entourage -
iCal" Script. Then I use iSync to synchronise iCal and the address
book (not using the entourage one) to the phone. This places any
changes in the address book or on my diary onto the phone.

If I have changed anything in my diary on the phone, I would need to
run the script again to get iCal and Entourage back into sync.

This is getting tedious. I understand that a link between iSync and
Entourage is currently on the development with Microsoft - solving my
problem, but I have not idea how long this will take to come through.

Any ideas on how to simplify this matter?

I am running a Powerbook G4, OSX 10.4.2, Microsoft Office 2004 and Sync
Entourage-iCal 2.0.1 for Tiger.

TIA

Michael

Take a look at E2Sync <http://www.e2sync.com>

It is not perfect yet, but is well supported, frequently updated and many
people are claiming good success.

currently a user although I was a beta tester]

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the link. I'm evaluating it and it looks like it will meet
the requirement. Only thing is it does not seem to replicate deletes
if the delete is initiated from the receiving party. I suppose this is
a form of protection.

Bear in mind that it is still a 'work in progress'
