I think we will see the new DM soon as that "Torch" is coming August 12th. The new DM will probaby work wih the new Torch as well as Office 2010.

But if everything is going to be "64 bit" I don't know... if that will be the norm - why downgrade the program???

I would have to think about it and what it would mean in the future... Of course I would have to think about my software and if it could do it - and if it can't, when it could. Obviously the DM can't until further notice.

I am trying to hold off buying something, and this is part of the reason why...

the work around for this is to uninstall outlook 2010 install 2007 ... create a profile, then update back to 2010, it works mint i did it myself, and until desktop manager 6.0 comes out.. or atleast im hoping RIM will integrate that into the mix, im sure they are aware of the issue, everyone is getting WIN7 with OUTLOOK 2010 preloaded so im sure they are somewhat aware

This was shocking as it means Nokia got it done faster than RIM. Nokia delivers some of the best phones around – but the company sucks. RIM makes them look amateur in regard to customer service. RIM backs their phones… Nokia could give a damn if it’s even usable – they just want the sale. The biggest problem with a Nokia phone is “Nokia.” I pray somebody buys that company and delivers a corporate structure that is worthy of the device that unfortunately bears their name.

Bottom line: That Nokia delivered compatible syncing software faster than RIM is a staggering embarrassment to RIM.

Default Upgrading to Office 64

If you upgrade from, for example, Windows Vista 32 to Windows 7 32, it is an upgrade in place. You do not have to delete your existing version of Vista and then install Windows 7. Rather, it is the typical upgrade we have been used to, which preserves some or most of your Windows settings. (It may also preserve some things you don't like/want, but it is an easier process.) If you move from, for example, Windows Vista 32 to Windows 7 64, you must start over and reinstall everything (including all programs, etc.) Windows 7 does offer a process that allows you to save the existing files and settings for some programs, but this is not universal and you must reinstall the programs themselves in the 64 bit environment. That is the Windows 7 64 install, not the Office 64 install.

If you install Office 64 during that process, it is basically like reinstalling the other programs. If you do not install Office 64 at that time, but install Office 32 and wait until later to install Office 64, you will most likely have to completely uninstall Office 32 and reinstall Office 64. There is presently no MS upgrade program, of which I am aware, that allows you to upgrade Office 64 in place (with all settings, etc. from Office 32). If someone is aware of some other information from MS on this, I would be interested to know.

This is one reason why people may be inclined to do this all at once. Since the future is 64 and the next iteration of Office and Windows will likely be 64 only, doing it now has attractions in saving from hassles later. The problem is the hassles it presents, which is lack of compatibility with the add-in programs of companies like RIM, which have elected not to upgrade those programs at this time, to the surprise and dismay of customers like myself, while companies like CompanionLink have rushed in to provide this service, for a fee, that RIM has not, as of yet.

I personally see RIM, in this regard, as behaving like something of an arrogant company with a widely used and entrenched product, which feels it is not compelled to serve the needs and desires of smaller segments of its customers to maintain general market dominance. (RIM has a huge share of the smartphone market.) This is risky for RIM, because their market share is eroding and may continue to erode as small segments of its customer based drop off.

Thanks for your explanation... and by the way - I agree with everything you said

I know RIM's base is primarily corporate - and the iphone and the like are for individuals who wants and needs are focused on "fun" - leaves people in the middle struggling...

As of rigth now, even with this problem, I still say RIM is better than the rest.

I am glad to know it's going well... that 6.0 was capable of syncing 2010. But to me "leaked" is right up there with "beta." I will wait for the official release from RIM.

Which version of Outlook are you using, 32 bit or 64 bit?

is desktop manager 6 out yet? I thought it was coming out today?

I'm really needing to get outlook 2010 working with desktop manager. I never even knew this was an issue until my Boss's blackberry died and had to be replaced yesterday.

It had been happily syncing with office 2010 since the day office it was ofiicially launched, and now when I've connected his replacement blackberry, I now get the "can't open message store" error

Blackberry Desktop V6 is just out and DOES NOT support Office 2010 64 bit. They wonder why they're losing market share? Develop an update that supports Windows 7 64 bit environment and then neglects to apply it to Office 2010 64 bit? Time for the new Samsung Galaxy S, enough of RIM's nonsense.

Enjoy. Read my reply to other thread.

Adobe Acrobat latest version, doesn't support Office 2010 64 bit. Office Communicator -A MICROSOFT PRODUCT - doesn't support Office 2010 64 bit.

No 32 bit apps support Office 2010 64 bit. Even Microsoft recommends using the 32 bit version.

Suit yourself.

Recommending 32 bit will change as the newer computers are rolling out with 64 bit.

If you are looking for another device you might want to consider the HTC running Windows 7 mobile which is due out soon... if anybody can sync Outlook well (any and all bits) it would be Microsoft. They put a lot of work into that new OS and it's ability to work with Office.

RIM, and everybody else for that matter, will have to address 64 bit soon or suffer the consequences. Those that are buying new computers NOW will want to install 64 bit if they expect to run that computer for years - as years from now downgrading to 32 bit will over. And Office goes deep into the system - I would not want to uninstall and reinstall Office.

At the end of the day the consumer needs to "execute" just like the business crowd running BES, and they will use whatever device delivers. RIM needs to make sure we can get it done, using whatever "bit" of Office we choose - period.

I just downloaded DM 6.0 and it still does not work with outlook 2010...

When I go Organizer>>Configure Settings... Intellisync pops up with "unknown error reported". The progress bar is at "determining the root configuration name for main system" when this occurs.

Please advise?
