I have a question which I have not been able to find the answer to. If you have a home computer with Microsoft Office (not connected to any type of business network), can you sync your Outlook information (Contacts, Calender, Notes) to the new BlackBerry 10? I have Office 2010 and the Storm 2 and hock up my storm once a week to the computer and sync the information back and forth using the Desktop Manager and am a little concerned that I might not been able to do that anymore. Is this feature still available?

I don't see any mention of it anywhere nor can I see the option in the BlackBerry Link application which replaces Desktop Manager.

It does not look like it is supported via the BB Link

However if you have a hotmail/Live/Outlook account that uses Async and all you stuff will line up perfectly without needing to even plug it in

Yikes that was how I was going to move all my contacts over. I have them in out look from my iPhone and was counting on link to move them to phone

Anyone found a way to do this?

Tri-way syncs are a mess.

I'm sure that this functonality will be supported. There are millions of users of desktop based, MS Office Outlook that will need to sync calendars, tasks, contacts, etc. with their phone, and since this was supported in the past, it would be simply crazy to not support it going forward.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully BlackBerry updates BlackBerry Link for when the phones hit the stores down in the States and adds this feature. I don't have a Hotmail Account and use Microsoft Office Outlook 10 for a lot of stuff so being able to sync back and forth from the Computer to the Phone is extremely useful.

Agree! Without this BB10 is a not starter for me.
