[Iguana Watersports]

Good afternoon everyone. I came here to ask a few questions about the potential of using a Blackberry to run my small business that I'm launching in May. I currently have a personal use cell phone that does okay (LG Glimmer with US Cellular) but I don't think It'll be able to do the necessary things to use it for running a business. I wondered if you guys could give me the advantages with say the Bold which is probably the device I would purchase. My business is based around boating so I won't have a land line which makes this device and its capabilities very important to me....
1.) I want it to be able to carry a huge number of contacts with each contact able to have information, emails, address, etc. I want all of this information to be able to be uploaded onto my laptop every night.
2.) I want it to have a detailed calendar that has my day to day schedule on it and can be integrated into software on my laptop every night.
3.) Since I will be working in and around the water being able to upload all of the data from my device to a laptop that stays far away from the water is essential especially if accidentally drop my device in the Lake.
4.) I would also like something that has a very nice version of Google Maps or something like that so after a client calls and gives me their address I can quickly call it up to see where I'm headed.

I'm sure much of this information can be found on CNET and other articles but I wanted to here from people who use them every single day. Appreciate any feedback.

Well what you want can be done. Get outlook 2003 or newer on your laptop and you can synchronize away.
