    I don't have Outlook on my XP computer.... I did get BB to sync with Outlook Express for my address book but I was wondering if there are any free programs that I can use to sync calendar, memos and tasks..... I keep a lot of memos on my BB for info at work. It would be nice to type these memos on the computer and just sync them to the BB. I could live without calendar and tasks. With the Palm Zire 31 I could type or paste memos in to the software and send them to the zire. The whole idea of getting the BB is so I don't have to carry 2 devices around. Also I have no data plan.... if that matters. Just WiFi.

    Thanks for any help you may provide!!

    funny, i'm looking for the same thing.

    I could use access to all four (calendar, task list, contacts, and memos/notes.) With school this would be very handy. You can use Yahoo! calendar and tasks and even the contacts, I set it up last night for my BB and it works pretty much without a hitch.

    The thing is that I would really just like a program on the computer, not the net.

    Try Yahoo! though, it works good. Also I hear Google has a good calendar, but no task list or notes.

    Hope that helps a little and I'd like to know if there is something else as well!

    Having a copy on the computer is nice. That is were the Palm Zire 31 was handy.... but I don't want to carry 2 devices. If I find something I will let you know.

    I use the Gcal and sync it to my BB via Gsync. It actually works quite well! And since I've been fighting with trying to find a calendar I could use (since I'm on a Mac), it's been a great "sigh of relief!"

    The 8130 for VZW doesn't have wifi, so I have a data plan.

    Hi-
    I just purchased the 8310. I am also looking to use the Zire software that is on my laptop so that I can type all of my contacts, taks etc on the laptop and just sync it into my curve.
    Any ideas or help would be great.
    Thanks
