so i'm trying to find a solution to an issue that i could have answered myself 2 years ago when i was more into the world of berries.

I have an 8330m (like it matters) and i want to utilize the calender on my phone now .. Before i used it just to remember birthdays and what not, and i've always kept a day planner where i was able to physically write things down in my calender to keep track of my schedule. My day planner was stolen over the weekend and I don't want to try and have to re-write everything down again.

I need a program that I can use on a desktop PC that will sync with the blackberry calender application on my phone. Google sync i believe is its own calender program and I don't wanna have to deal with that and I don't have outlook on the computer that I would be using to sync my blackberry with. Outlook express doesn't have an option for calender appointments, and i use thunderbird as my primary email client and i know that blackberry is unable to sync with that program.

Any other options in my favor or am I going to have to use google sync?
