Greetings, I have recently purchased an 8700c. Does anyone know of a good all in one software to control the 8700c's web browser, address book, calendar, applications, settings, phone ringtones and message alerts. Thanks in advance.

I can't speak for the other 20+ people that have viewed this thread before me, but I'm a little confused as to what exactly you are trying to accomplish.

From the initial reading of your post, you are looking for something that basically controls your entire phone. That to me sounds like the phone OS itself. It controls web browser, address book, settings, etc.

Can you please elaborate on your request?

My desktop manager software that came with the phone will only sync my outlook express address book. Thanks.

Okay, I really have no idea what you are asking. Please be a bit more specific as thus far this makes no sense to me.

I think he is looking for something to sync with all the programs I am guessing.

Yes. All the programs. Thank you.

The problem is that you're using Outlook Express to sync your Blackberry to. Try Outlook (the full version) and you'll be able to sync calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes.

AFAIK, there's nothing that will sync browser bookmarks, applications (not sure what you want to sync?), settings or alerts. You can use the backup utility in Desktop Manager to backup and restore these.

I'm new to the game, thanks for all the info. Happy Holidays!

You can sync Safari bookmarks using PocketMac™ in you use OS X, but believe me, you don't want to do that.

You can't get theblasted things off again :(

There are software packages that will allow the complete control of a cell phone. ringers, contacts, numbers, etc.

None is avalible to totally control the BB from a PC the same way. I think it would be a good thing to view the various applications and controls on a larger screen but so far nothing. I have one for my Samsung phone.
