Possible convert to Blackberry from Palm - please help with outlook questions

I'm debating switching from a Palm Treo 800 (battery life is awful) to Blackberry Curve. I chose the Treo because of active sync with my work exchange server and ability to open Office documents.
Currently, I sync my outlook mail, tasks & calendar with work, and my contacts & notes with my home computer. So if i follow your instructions for using BIS instead of BES (my employer only provides BES service for a carrier which is not mine ...), will I be able to sync manually with a cable to my work computer for  calendar & tasks and then to my home computer for contacts & notes?
I have to decide THIS WEEK if I'm going to switch from Palm to Blackberry, so please hurry! The blackberry seems like it's a lot more fun than the Palm, and your support is much more extensive and user-friendly!

Ok, so if both machines are Outlook based, I would not see a problem,
You would need  2 DM programs one at work and one at home.
For work you can specify sync for tasks and calendar, for home sync contacts and notes.
Both calendars would have to be the Outlook calendar as default.
You can the have the synced BB and would have the ability to backup on both machines, or better yet, back up on one machine to eliminate confusion. In case of failure, you have a backup of ALL data.
You wouldn't have to convert anything because Outlook is fully compatible with the Desktop Manager.
I don't see a problem.
Thanks

  • Hello to all! Please help with the question from China!!!Thanks a lot!

    I am a real beginner on Java studing and I try to learn this all by myself.I had read some books translated from English format.But I dont think they were translated good enough.Sometime the meaning translated from English is totally different from what the Author want to express.So can you help to recommend some good English books for the beginner.I want to get start my studing on these books.Thanks in advance.

    I used Thinking in Java 2 by Horton. I see there's an upcoming edition covering the new version 5 of Java,
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764568744/qid=1103190687/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-0972736-0816625?v=glance&s=books
    In addition to the above I also bought The Java Programming Language by Gosling and others. It's not a tutorial. Instead it offers much in-depth information on why things are the way the are in Java. I didn't use much at first and found it quite impenetrable, but now I use it all the time especially when answering so called "I have a doubt" questions at this forum. -:) I think any serious Java developer should have a copy but not necessarily when starting out. The Horton tome will keep you busy for a while. And don't forget the on-line tutorials. If find the Swing tutorial especially valuable.

  • Blackberry Virgin - Please help with these questions

    Hi there
    I have just received my Blackberry 8900 and have a few questions if anyone can help:
    - Is there any way of having a clock display whilst the phone is on "sleep" mode. I use my phone to keep track of time alot so is there anyway of having the clock permanently displayed when phone is not in use?
    - I cant seem to be able to send a contact by SMS which seems a bit strange. Usually with my old phones I have been able to click on the Contact and access a "Send contact  by text" option.
    - The track ball I find a bit uncomfortable to use especially when having to click it, are there other navigation type pads on other phones rather than track ball?
    - I am  not currently connected to internet and wont be until next week when my new billing system starts. Can I use IM without internet access?
    Thats it for starters! Thanks in advance for your help

    Please help me!! Nobody can help you unless you have shown the willingness to learn and are seeking help only where you are stuck.
    My assignment is due in 2 days That doesn't matter to people over here.
    hese are practice questions and not part of the actual assignment so dont hesitate to provide the answer!!Doesnt matter again. what you have posted here is a problem text without any effort on your part to understand it or implement it. That is an assignment to us and we did our Java assignments for our course work long time ago.
    Bottom line - learn Java. If your course is not helping you with that, find a different course.

  • Please help with basic questions

    I hardly ever use flash, as i'm always ending up kicking
    stuff out of sheer frustration. Just like with Quark Xpress, in
    Flash there seem to be several 'layers' between what my intuition
    tells me should work, and the actual execution of the things i want
    to achieve. But nevermind, I'm just severely annoyed.
    I got 10 buttons, with a graphic as bottomlayer, and a number
    (1-10). Isn't it possible to turn the first button into a symbol,
    and then make copies where i just have to change the number? For
    now it doesn't matter if i copy/paste them or drag them from the
    library, when i copy the button and try to change the number in the
    copy, then the number in the 'original' changes as well.
    Do i really have to 'make' each button from scratch?
    This might seem like a very basic question, but i'm really
    bangin my head into the wall here. And theres tons og issues like
    that in Flash - for me at least - like if i say 'paste in place',
    things get pasted some random place on the canvas (anywhere but in
    place). If i convert to symbol, the referencepoint (or the point
    which it's supposed to rotate around) seems randomly choosen as
    well - at least it's never where i told it to be in the appropriate
    dialog.
    HELP! :-(

    Go to the library and there should be an arrow in the corner
    that gives you options. One option is "duplicate symbol." Duplicate
    your button and give it a new name, then make the changes.

  • Please help with slicing question

    I'm new to FW and to slicing. I have tried to get all of the info from tutorials and the help that I could.I'm still confused.I'm trying to produce a multi page website mockup with FW using export to CSS and Images.
    I've submitted two other posts with 0 replies. I guess my questions were too broad? I've done some trial and error and tried testing with a simplified version of the multi page website mockup I'm trying to produce. See the simplified file here:
    http://www.openrangeimaging.com/test-posts/slicetest01.png
    The top area would be the header. The lower bar will have some nav tabs. The circle is to be a logo that if clicked on will take the user to the home page.. Below the nav bar is to be two columns with content.
    I have tried different ways of slicing this but cannot get the file to export correctly as CSS and Images. I also can't seem to include the logo as a slice with a link without getting the "overlap" problem. I have been beating myself against this for some time and have not had any success. Any help or advice on where to get help or any reply at all will be most appreciated. Thanks!

    Great, my entire message was wiped out. Here it is again:
    My comments are inline.

    Jim, thank you for your very helpful reply!
    Honestly I wouldn't even try to directly export this design from FW to a CSS based layout. I think I'd move a lot faster by exporting the graphics from FW and building the design in DW.<<
    This is what I needed to know. Being new to FW I was mistakenly assuming that I could use the Images and CSS to export a clicklable mockup that would also form the html/css basis of the 15 page site I'm designing. I thought that this was possible if only I could figure out how. I expected some pretty involved work in Dreamweaver would be needed. I now understand that for what I'm doing using the HTML and Images is what should be used. Then I develop the site in Dreamweaver using perhaps some images exported from the FW mockup, but not any html or css. Thank you for clearing that up for me! I knew i had some fundamental/core misunderstanding. The export to Images and CSS is only for very simple design.
    JB - It IS possible, but you have to design the site based on certain practices. Overlapping slices is one thing to avoid.
    . If you're new to Fireworks, you really want to keep things simple as  you learn the process. Regardless, a solid knowledge of HTML and CSS is  very important.<<
    Yes I'd like to keep it simple but this is a bit of trial by fire (pun intended) on a project. I have gotten books and other tutorial type stuff on html and css. I would not call my knowledge of it solid as I am new to it. i think I get the gist of it and am determined to become proficient. The only real way to do that is to actually create something/gotta start somewhere so.......
    JB - getting the "gist" isn't enough. If you do not have a solid grounding in HTML and CSS, you will likely run into trouble even IF you successfully export the design, because you will need to to edit and tweak the code once you're in DW. I'd recommend building your first sites "the old fashioned way" first, before trying to automate the process.
    David Hogue has created a great series of CSS export videos on the Fireworks Dev Center. I strongly recommend watching them. Likewise Michel Bozgounov has written an excellent article on setting up a Fireworks document for CSS export:<<
    I had viewed a number of  Dave H's tutorials. I somehow overlooked the ones that you provided a link to. I'm going to watch them straight away. I had read the Article by Michel B. also excellent. I have also read your excellent tutorials and watched your lynda.com video training. I've gained allot from all of this.
    Thanks again for your help!
    JB - You're very welcome. Good luck.

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

    It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

  • I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?

    I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?
    iPhoto isn't in my applications to I can't drag it to dock.  All images and movies are still on Mac (heart did stop as I thought I'd lost everything and nearly cried) but I don't know how to get iPhoto back.  I'm worried about trying different things as don't want to lose anything on Mac.  Noticed that I haven't been using Time Machine and bought a couple of years ago so not sure what operating with.  I have our 2 CDs from when we bought the Mac - 13-inch Macbook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD) and 13 inch MacBook Pro (Applications Install DVD).  My photos are not backed up so not sure if I need to do this first - can I back up to iCLoud or do I need newer software?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - need lots of step by step instructions though!

    All images and movies are still on Mac
    Of course they are.  Deleting an app doesn't delete the files that's in it.

  • HT4623 After i updated my iPhone i realized i do not have my camera anymore how to get it back? I also using a new notebook so I do not have a back up to transfer it from.  Please help

    After i updated my iPhone i realized i do not have my camera anymore how to get it back? I also using a new notebook so I do not have a back up to transfer it from.  Please help

    I'm assuming you mean you don't have your camera application (which is not saved on any backup anyway).
    One way to find it is to get to your home screen, swipe the screen from right to left, and type "Camera" in the search field.  Camera is a core Apple app and cannot be deleted, so it must be there somewhere.
    An alternate approach is to do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

    You can't change to 'None' until you clear up the previous payment problem.  Add a fresh iTunes gift card, or add a credit card, and then once the billing issue clears, you can choose 'None' again.
