Hello All;

I am new to this, so please excuse the question.

We are currently using the Treo 650 and want to switch to Verizon's Blackberry 7130e. Problem is we are a Novell Groupwise shop and our version of Groupwise (5.2) is too old for BES to work with.

Anyone know of a PIM (similar to the Palm Desktop) that I can use with the blackberry to synch contacts, appointments, tasks...etc, since cannot use BES ??
or, is there a work around ??

Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Will
 
The blackberry phones come with sync software that you can use if you don't have a BES.

It will sync mail, contacts, tasks, notes, etc.

Blackberry is telling me there isn't ??

What is the software called ? Is it like the Palm Desktop ?

Thank you...

It's the Blackberry Desktop Manager.

That is correct.
It is the blackBerry desktop manager.
This is on the CD that should have come with the BlackBerry device itself.

I do not know for sure if it will work with GW 5.2 or not though.
But it should act just like Intellisync does, or RI does.
