When i first switched to a mac i used pocketmac it worked fine, but then after several synchs i was getting duplicate entries, in some cases if it duplicated an entry in a synch i had two, the next time it decided to duplicate the entry i had four. If i altered an entry on my bb it created it as a new entry in ical, also i could only create a repeating event in ical if i created it on my BB it could recreate the event to run on a number of unconnected days, i must say that the my contacts synched flawlessly with address book.

I paid for the missing synch and it works better than the DM i had on my old PC, i synch calendar, contacts, photos and music, i have never tried the tasks and notes functions as i use todo and ideamatrix and not the bb tasks app.

It would be very easy to say ignore pocketmac because i found that it would not work as i wanted, there are plenty of people on here that use it without a problem, my advice to anyone would be go ahead and try pocketmac, after all its free, but please back up your data to a secure location first, (a friends PC or your old one) then see if you can make it work for you, do multiple back ups at a time to see if it gets confused, if it doesn't work for you, buy missing synch.
