    So I got my BB Pearl 8130 yesterday on a New every 2 deal through Verizon and my workplace. So far I'm loving it. I wish I could have waited for the curve, but my Razr broke and I was told I could get a media phone. WOOT


    Anyhow, we don't have any sort of enterprise server stuff. We're a small company all my email is done through Optonline and I hooked that up no problem.

    Here's my question, I want to be able to do a calandar and update my contact lists through the computer and then sync it to the BB. I have Windows Vista 32b Home Premium and Office Home and Student 2K7 as potential software platforms.

    What would I need to do to get this to work?

    The blackberry is awesome and I'm loving learning it, but it's going to take a lot of time and the calandar and contact updating is important to me because I'm still not great with the keyboard and updating 100+ contacts will take me forever otherwise.

    You just need to install the Desktop Manager software that came with the Blackberry. It will sync your BB with MS Outlook on your computer.

    Vista PC's don't HAVE outlook. They have Windows Mail. Unless I'm being ******** I don't think they are the same thing. I love this thing, but it is a bit overwhelming. And I'm a guy who can build a PC from parts, though I guess that's not as impressive as it used to be.

    Well my optonline.net email address is [email protected] we'll say. My blackberry has NO problem recieving emails from that. I haven't set up a true Blackberry email address yet would that help me with this?

    Any way to get ms office 03 on both computers? if so it's a piece of cake. Otherwise you'll probably need to look at gmail until the next desktop manager release. Welcome to crackberry.

    Okay I just got myself a Gmail address. I've been wanting to get a new Email anyway for a while since my current one is about 5 years old and a veritable cesspool of spam.

    So now, how do I go about Syncing the contact list from the blackberry to the Gmail account? I assume once I do that I can then do contacts on the Gmail end and then load them back to the phone.

    As an FYI I'm basically attempting to enter every business card/rolodex entry/etc into one convenient place here.
