If you can’t beat them, join them, an OTA solution that works for sure

Oh boy, after attempting to sync my berry(8800) ota via a syncml sometimes successfu, sometimes a nightmare, I got totally sick and tired of dealing with this technology(syncml) I don’t care what other people tell me, “oh, this work, we’re working on this,” whatever, whatever, In my opinion, these do not work properly, its totally unacceptable because you can’t just sync and put your head and relax, you sync once and it may work, sync again and if you had 420 contacts like me all of a sudden you have 840 if you’re lucky, if not, like it happened to me with another syncml client Mobical, I had 1260 contacts, how freaking frustrating and I don’t want to start on the calendar, all of my entries had been triplicated, I was so upset, I almost blew a fuse, the two syncml clients that I tried faithfully giving them a true run for there money(they were both free) were Mobical and Zyb, I also tried ScheduleWorld( I can’t recall right now but something like that) with similar results as above. I took a deep breath and shot over to blackberry forums for some other suggestions( I really was jonesing to be wireless) and I came upon the following company that hosted exchange for my desktop Outlook 2007 and also hosted the Blackberry Enterprise Server called ExchangeMyMail over at http://www.exchangemymail.com/ , guys/gals, the process of getting my desktop and blackberry setup was literally 30 minutes, that’s because they did everything for me, they emailed me a file and in about 30 seconds the gentleman that was helping me took over my home computer and setup my Outlook in a snap, the reason I took a little longer its because I had to call my carrier to setup my Blackberry Enterprise Server, this is awesome now my Blackberry 8800 is truly wireless in every way, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, and Notes, wow I couldn’t be happier, SyncJe for Blackberry two big huge thumbs down going back to the syncml debacle. Folks don’t think about it twice like I did go with a company that has amazing customer service, Exchangemymail. If you have any questions let me know but if not enjoy the feeling of being truly wireless
