Hi, is there some 3rd party desktop application where you can enter tasks, calendar entries, contacts, ect. and then sync it to your BB?

I know Outlook syncs but I dont use outlook.

Any ideas?

No, there is no third party desktop software like the Palm Desktop Software. Most people use Outlook.

Will outlook synch only contacts? Or Calander and tasks as well?

Outlook will sync email, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos/notes.
