But I will say I have had A LOT less stress since I got my Mac. I don't have time to keep maintaining my PC like a pet or child because I am in college. I'm sure Windows is nice for those that have the time to invest into it but right now I am not able so it would be nice to get something working on this Blackberry.

I know several people who use Boot Camp on their Macs. They can run Windows when they want to use it, and they do not have any issues with it. If you have a Windows XP disc you can install it on your Mac using Boot Camp.

I don't have $250 to blow on a single vista license just to sync a blackberry. I'd have to some how port my contacts and iCal events over to Windows anyway which defeats the entire purpose...

I will never buy a MAC. I keep loosing songs via I tunes, but I knew better and always use windows media as my "default" music location! Apple sucks and yet I still buy from them! What the **** is wrong with ME!! You get 5 computers to use with the songs you purchase!!! then say la vee, you must repurchase!!!!!! Apple, you are the stingiest, greediest, worthless, company to ever grace this planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does this complaint about iTunes on a PC have to do with running Desktop Manager on a Mac?

I've used a PC since 1981 and recently switched to Mac. I'm never going back. Love the OS. That being said, BB and Mac's just don't get along. I've tried pocketMac and missingSync. Both would work for a while, then all of a sudden they'ed crap out. I have 11 years of calendar with notes on my BB - left over from Palm and Windows Mobile devices.

I'm waiting for the Mac BB Desktop Manager due in september. I'm not wasting anymore time (or money) trying to sync with Mac until RIM finally owns up to the sync problems.

I know the "Coming in Sept" info came out a few months ago. Is there anything more specific such as an exact date?
