There are step-by-step directions here:

Synchronizing a BlackBerry in Linux cb.blog

which references also a nice article here:

Linux.com :: Syncing your BlackBerry on Linux

Note: The directions are for those using KDE, but see this post for the minor modification you need to make if using Gnome:

[ubuntu] blackberry sync with ubuntu - Ubuntu Forums

Basically:

"Note, if you are synchronizing with Evolution, you will need to install the "oopensync-plugin-evolution" package rather than the "opensync-plugin-kdepim" package. Also, when configuring the synchronization group and members, you will need to use "sync-evo2" rather than "sync-kdepim". All else should work pretty much the same."

Actually, those directions have a minor error... the correct command to --addmember is:

$ msynctool --addmember Blackberry evo2-sync


Enjoy,

Patrick

Hi, I am looking for recommendations for a blackberry that I can use in Ubuntu 10.10 - there is only two listed on Barry software so I wondered if anyone here can advise? Item will have to be at lest 1-2 years old so it can fit my budget.
