Sync-ing with Blackberry

I almost never use Outlook anymore, just Outlook Express.

Couple of questions come to mind:

Was there ever a "calendar" function inside OE to keep appointments and
such? And, perhaps not so wishingly, was there a 3rd party freeware add-on
for such (if there wasn't)?

And secondly, any reported issues with sync-ing between this cheap-o
blackberry curve and OE?

If my grammar seems bad, just think how much better it was than before!

Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

OE never had a calendar. This is the only add-on I am aware of.

I haven't noticed any synching issues, but..............

Thanks. I checked it out. Much like OE, it hasn't been updated in years. A
link broken here or there. But I'd be willing to entertain any other stuff
if anyone's aware....

A1. No.

A2. I'd very much doubt if you can sync the Blackberry with OE.

It's the address book. Blackberry has the option to "sync" with Outlook,
Outlook Express, Lotus Notes or Organizer, GroupWise or Act!

Right now I have it pointing to Outlook and is working fine. But, as
previously mentioned, I'd like to stop using Outlook all together.

I could. But I am *much* more interested in Outlook Express than in my
Blackberry.

Ever call their customer service? I have never, ever, spoken to a Canadian
with a worse "service" attitude.

That's a peer-to-peer support forum for Curve users, many of whom appear to
be syncing with OE, if you'd bother to do a little reading. Who better to
tell you how to do it than someone who's already doing it, eh?

Your rant about "their" customer service (one assumes you're referring to
the service provider or telco) is totally OT here.

PS: Up until only a few months ago, Blackberry's couldn't sync with OE's
database so there may be a few more bugs to be worked out. If you want to
abandon OL, you'd best (1) disable any sharing with OE contacts, (2) get all
of your OL messages transferred into OE, and then (3) uninstall OL before
proceeding any further.
