Synchronizing text with computer???

Hey everyone,

I'm very new to the forums, so you'll have to forgive my newbie question. I've searched for my question but haven't found a response, so if it's redundant, I apologize.

Basically, I'm wondering if there's a way that I can plug my BB into my computer and run a program which lets me text from my phone, only using my computer keyboard, and receive text on my monitor? I'm not sure if I've phrased this correctly...so I want to plug my phone in, and run a mini version of it on my computer instead of physically picking up my phone to text. Is there such a thing?

I'm not looking for sites that let me text to other phones. I know of those, and that's not quite what I'm looking for. I'd like to see notification of a text on my computer monitor, and be able to check it from my computer.

Again, sorry if it's redundant. If you'd be so kind as to direct me to previous threads I'd appreciate it.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark related to your needs, but have you tried mIQ? It syncs your phone info to your desktop and you can send text messages from the mIQ website. Not sure if this is what you are after, but a suggestion.
