I installed OS 4.5 on my AT&T 8100, no problems other than a little glitchiness when I synched with Desktop 4.2.2. So I downloaded and installed Desktop 4.6. Couldn't complete a single sync with Outlook 2003, it always hung up on "calendar record 987 out of 1874". I know, something about not having attachments on calendar entries. I did a search through Outlook, filtered the results so only entries with attachments would be displayed, and there were no such entries.

I searched this forum, Crackberry, the internet at large...all I found were users in the same boat I was, and no solutions. I spent hours with a Blackberry tech and we were able to complete one sync, but not two syncs in a row. Yesterday I removed Blackberry Desktop from my PC (Macbook running Windows XP via Parallels) then reinstalled Desktop 4.2.2. It runs fine.

Oh by the way, did I mention how SLOW desktop 4.6 was? The one complete sync I completed took at least 10 minutes for a very small amount of data.
