Can you sync the mac and blackberry for appointments, email etc?

Yes, Pocketmac, and it's free. Google it!

Missing Sync is the best reviewed one, and I can vouch for it's effectiveness. Not cheap, but it's great. I've used Missing Sync for my BlackBerry and Treo, worked great for both.

or get an iphone.... hehe

Apple should be paying us!

Everytime I hear someone mention phone.. i'm like "did you get an iphone?"

if they say no.. I'm like "then it's not worth mentioning"


in all seriousness.. a blackberry is cool and should hold you over till you can get an iphone.

I actually just had this issue last night, I got the new blackberry pearl and was having trouble recieving all of my email on my phone. I downloaded the pocketmac and instant sync. I use Entourage on my laptop and the phone synchs with it perfect.

Now if I could only figure out how to type quickly!

I'd be all over the iPhone if ATT's service wasn't so atrocious.

Oh, for you Blackberry people that like the iPhone, check out the bPhone theme for BB's!

That's why I kept my Verizon cell, and use iPhone for *ahem* just email

its been fine for us for years

it did help when the put a tower on mercer island though, its only a couple hundred feet from our place, but it helps the whole eastside

wife has an iphone, I'm still rocking a blackberry, I've got a free upgrade coming but can't decide what to get. A curve would be -$75, blackjack II 0.01, or iphone is 399. pretty hard to do the iphone, so I'll probably do one of the others and wait for the next gen from apple since you can renew at any point.

Michelle, that's probably the right idea. Use it for your email, portfolio, and to look cool I adore the iPhone, but Verizon's coverage is too good.

Corey, how's her service over here on the westside?

The Curve is a nice phone ... I have the 8830 World Edition, and love it. Wait and see when the BlackBerry 9000 comes out, though. If there's gonna be an iPhone killer, it's gonna be the 9000.
