Hi all,

I worked for years on Palm desktop software, tapping away at the full-sized keyboard and moving appointments with my mouse, and loved the ease of my PC being synchronized with my handheld. Have I gone insane, or is there no such program for BB? The much-touted BB Desktop Manager is equvalent to the HotSync button on a Palm, but there is nothing else to it!!

I am 6'6", and the ends of my fingers are the size of frying pans. Typing and wheeling on the BB (even with all the great tips from this site) is a frustrating experience.

Lemme know,

You can enter eveything in outlook, and sync it to your blackberry.

With your Blackberry, use MS Outlook exactly as you did the Palm Desktop software. Works like a charm. I still have and use my Palm TX, but I have always synced my TX with Outlook...still do...and I sync and work with my BB on Outlook as well.

Maybe something like this would help you out.


Projector Keyboard - I Want One Of Those

The laser is a great idea but it's not that great in reality. I bought one of those at Fry's electionics before, it was cool of a device but i ended up returning it and went back to my think outside bluetooth keyboard, the typing is just way better. :D

Thanks for the OUtlook tip, all. Sadly, I can't use it. I forgot to mention that I am on a Novell server, and Groupwise and Outlook cannot be used on the same terminal. Groupwise is Novell's mail and calendar software.

So, back to the question - are there any 3rd party apps that can take the place of Palm Desktop or Outlook for my situation?

Many thanks

Same with outlook use your GW client. I use a Gw server and I have my contacts sync with my personal address book and email and calender. Type your appointments on your computer GroupWise Client and it will sync to your BB> ( assuming your on a BES)

You can also manually synchronize with the GroupWise client even if you don't have a BES.

BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.1 SP1 provides native support for Novell GroupWise 6.0/6.5. See BlackBerry Desktop Software v4.1 Service Pack 1 System Requirements.

That too...
