hello

i am going to be a new blackberry user. Before i buy I wanted to ask a couple of questions. i will be using this for my small business. i have outlook 2003 for my computer. I want to know if the blackberry will link up to outlook 2003 well. I want to be able to bring in my calender and task and obviously e-mail to my blackberry.

Thank You for any help
Chris

The reason I am asking is I have been reading that people are having problems connecting with there home computers. i will not have microsoft exchange server

The Desktop Manager, included with the BlackBerry, will allow you to sync your calendar, contacts, notes and tasks. To set up wireless e-mail (BlackBerrys do not "sync" e-mail, the forward it wirelessly) you have a few choices. There is an excellent sticky thread here - UPDATED! FAQ, Software, Upgrade, Ringtones, Themes, Internet, IM, Modem, Tips, Tricks - that has a sub thread about the different ways of getting e-mail to your BlackBerry.

Good luck.
