Hi all,
I am not new to BES although I am to BIS!
I have an 8100 and I can already see that via BIS it will not get my contact/calendar.
My question is in relation to newer models/firmware, do device such as the 9000 with latest firmware sync the contacts/calendar? Or do they simply push your email?
Please let me know, thanks in advance!
P.S: If BIS doesn't work I am going to have to bite the bullet and set BES on a 2k3 Hyperv machine, which I really don't want to! :(
BIS only pushes your email, no matter what model or firmware you have.
You can use a 3rd party app like google-sync to sync your gmail calendar & contacts, there are other apps available for OTA sync if you're not using gmail.
Of course you can always simply plug-in and sync with Outlook via USB data cable.
Thx shanek83, the more I looked into BIS and underastood it the more I can see that it wont be doing it anytime soon and it wont be a firmware update, RIM will need to completely revamp BIS.
I guess I will have to run up a Hyper V machine with server 2k3 and install BES again, fun fun!
