To set it up on your Z10, simply add your outlook.com account (Hotmail profile in the add account applet) and tell it to sync the items you want (mail, calendar, contacts, tasks).
For those that want Outlook client sync right now, this is the best option if you dont' want to wait for BB to add it to BlackBerry Link or pay for CompanionLink when they deliver their product.02-07-13 12:02 PMLike 0 - Yes you can. This is what I'm trying out now. You simply create an outlook.com ID (or migrate your old Hotmail one) and then add that email to your local Outlook installation. The wizard will recognize the outlook.com domain and create the .ost file. You will then have a full set of inbox, calendar, contacts and tasks for the outlook.com email address. You can then export/import your current calendar items to the local outlook.com one, same for contacts and tasks if you wish. Then, when you to an Outlook client sync (F9) it will sync up with the outlook.com account.

So the Outlook desktop calendar will automatically start syncing with the Outlook.com calendar if I do it that way? I can't switch to the Outlook.com calendar as my main work calendar because other people have access to my work calendar to put appointments in it, etc.
I called my supplier Vodafone about this, they have acknowledged it is a real problem and are receiving 'large levels of feedback' about it. They talked me through a fix similar to above e.g. gmail calendar. But seemed to think BB would have to update to include Outlook sync.02-07-13 12:34 PMLike 0 - Yes you can.

Should be ready from BB world soon. It is a real shame that this option was not included within BlackBerry Link. This is a big screw up by BB. Also BlackBerry Link I really sucks, talk about lame, it needs a lot of additions. No podcast support, no interface linking to BB App World and I could go on. On the plus it does link to BB10 which Keys never did when it first came out.02-07-13 01:10 PMLike 0

- As said recently posted Companion Link (Sync BB10 with Outlook Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes -- CompanionLink Software) looks like our best bet for this issue... $50 or not... If it works... it's WORTH IT to make our blackberry's work as they did...
---you will have to rip my Blackberry out of my cold dead hands---02-07-13 03:05 PMLike 0 - I pretty much blew a gasket once I learned that Z10 wouldn't sync to Microsoft Outlook. I kept with with Blackberry because I wanted a business phone that can be scaled to meet the needs of small business. The phone I bought is a glorified iphone (Sorry iphone users), with no business functionality on Blackberry Link. Anyways I found a company that may be able to help, but their app hasnt been approved by Blackberry yet. Since Blackberry doesnt seem to have a feedback forum I am hoping their developers will read this and fast tract Compaion Link and DejaOffice asap. Upon contacting the company they cant continue because they do not have a Z10 to test it out. How can developers create, if blackberry cant release the materials (phones) needed for them to test their apps.aargy likes this.02-07-13 03:12 PMLike 1

It doesn't work in iOS (I double-checked), nor does it work in Android. It doesn't work in BB10 either, though that actually is surprising.
It may be an oversight on everyone's part, but the fix is the same in every case: Use outlook.com or a third-party tool like CompanionLink.
If this feature is a deal-breaker for you, you're going to find yourself completely out of the smartphone market!02-07-13 03:26 PMLike 0 - Then why is this absent from so many smartphones?

Frustrating, normally when a completely new tech device is being developed you get a little info during development stage and then get blown away when it gets released. With the Z10 it looks to be the other way around. For months they have been busy getting people enthusiastic. Sadly enough shortly after release frustrations are growing and growing.
I also find it quite annoying RIM is not answering this issue as a lot of people are now left behind confused ...02-07-13 03:36 PMLike 0 - 02-07-13 03:44 PMLike 4

Go ahead, stick your head in the cloud. I prefer to deal with reality and the reality is that many, many people will not or cannot copy data to the same cloud RIM execs seem to have their heads in.02-07-13 04:12 PMLike 2 - Apple can get away with pretty much everything these days because ZOMG IT'S AN IPHONE!!!!!! GIMMEE MOAR!

Put some pressure BlackBerry to try to get them to implement local outlook sync in BlackBerry Link. Hit the support forms. Get other users to help flood them with requests! That's all you can do.
Complaining here won't do anything but make you feel a little better
Let's also not pretend that this will push people off the platform and on to the competition, which has the exact same problem! Like I said before, if you want this feature, grab a 9900. It's a great phone. If this feature is a deal-breaker, you're completely out of the modern smartphone game as no one else offers local outlook sync!lotuslanderz likes this.02-07-13 04:31 PMLike 1 - I just confirmed the same with Blackberry Tech support... So now the question is... what are the options other than taking the Z10 back and getting a 9900?02-07-13 04:35 PMLike 0
- The point, of course, is that while it's unfortunate that the feature has gone missing, it is NOT a feature that other platforms are offering.
