| |  Opinions On Blackberry Unite!
I just installed Blackberry Unite! and have to say that I'm not greatly impressed. Didn't find much that was worth bragging about. IMO, using Google Calendar with the sync looks better to me and has more options than the Unite calendar feature. Maybe I missed something so feel free to convince me if you have a different opinion.
Anyone installed Blackberry Unite! and do you have any early opinions? Great/Good/OK/Bad/Horrible?

| | Would if I could
I'm on mac, so with BlackBerry's history of catering to the Windows crowd, I'm once again out of the loop. My fiance and I both have BB's, and it would be nice to have access to pics and files, and have calendars that are always in sync. Oh well, maybe some day.

Seems that its a very, very basic idea of BES, with wireless sync of contacts and calendar, automatically... and sharing wirelessly. If i add a calendar event to my BB, it will automatically add it to any other BB i run in my Unite, as well as if i add an event in Unite, it will push it out to my BB.
Also can restrict and allow phone/sms/mms/internet, and remote wipe the device...
Still playing, but pretty promising!

The blogs. But be careful, it WILL install an IT policy onto your device...

Sounds promising to me. I would like it keep be able to sync the calendar with my wife's. We often schedule appointments on our individual BB's that both of us need to attend (parent-teacher conferences, etc). Also to keep some common contacts synced as well. But until I hear how well it has worked for others, I will wait a little while.  |

i downloaded it from the link kevin has in the blogs, but if that doesnt work, i will email you the file..
As to the IP policy, im just testing it out, but it seems that it is fairly blank...
Although i'm not very happy about having a policy on my personal BB..

Heres the bad: 
So far, it looks like you need to add contacts into the Unite, and it will push to the BB, but it will not go from the BB to Unite..
Gotta play with it more, and now that i have an IT policy, i might as well keep going with it..
Only been playing with it for an hour or so..
