- It seems logical to believe that a BB phone (like my Bold) would automatically sync its calendar with that of a PB Calendar if I had one (deciding which tablet to buy and this is important). From looking at these posts, it seems not. (I know that calendars on iPhone and iPad and Mac all sync atuomatically). Ques: Can I simply sync Calendar from Bold 9780 (OS 6) with PB Calendar? Thanks05-26-12 05:53 AMLike 0
- There is calendar sync if you use something like google.
I want bluetooth sync between my phone and pb...that's surely coming
Desktop manager (for mac) doesn't have calendar sync for the playbook...YET
The best tablet for a BB phone is the playbook. Bridge gives you added features.05-26-12 07:34 AMLike 0 - So far without some kind of an external service (ie: google), I dont think its possible.
I my self use Gmail to sync all my calendar appointments between my Torch 9800 and PlayBook... and I have to say, it works great.
But since one of RIM's recent acquisition(s), they bought out a Cloud service company, which may hint that they may be coming with their own service to go with the BB10 OS to sync items.05-26-12 10:34 AMLike 0 - It seems logical to believe that a BB phone (like my Bold) would automatically sync its calendar with that of a PB Calendar if I had one (deciding which tablet to buy and this is important).

- You need to download Google sync to your phone
Google Sync for your phone
Then add your Gmail account to the PB.05-26-12 12:04 PMLike 0 -
Without 3rd party/external sync/cloud service:no

Only complain is email deletion sync takes time to sync with blackberry handheld if an emailed is deleted on the playbook or gmail Web inboxyasmar likes this.05-26-12 12:09 PMLike 1 -
- I believe that's getting discontinued for BlackBerry. You can just add gmail as an email through the email setup and it'll give an option to sync contacts, calendar and emails.

- +1 for the Google Mail (Gmail) setup
Been using Gmail on my BlackBerry Smartphone and PlayBook, it works very nicely. A definite benefit is that any changes made on my BlackBerry Curve translate instantly over to the web version via a computer as well as the native PlayBook calendar. The only thing that doesn't sync instantly is changes from the PlayBook or web to the phone. It takes about 20 minutes but nonetheless it works.
With BlackBerry 10 I suspect that issue will be long gone.Andrew4life likes this.05-26-12 07:22 PMLike 1 - I wonder if now that my BB Bold native calendar syncs well with Google calendar in both directions (yes, a 20 minute delay from Google calendar to BB Bold, can I assume that Google calendar will sync with most tablets (Ipad, Android) and therefore my Bold calendar will sync with a tablet of any species? Any one know??05-27-12 07:14 AMLike 0

- So, please be specific in your reply if you would: How do I sync contacts and calendar between my PB and BB9900 via Gmail? I need a way to print off a calendar for an entire year, and don't think there is a way from PB or BB, so have to go to something on my laptop -- right?
