I found your blog while looking for help in this move. One thing I really liked on my Treo was the security system since I have some sensitive information (private contacts, memos, etc) I have not found such a feature on my BB. Am I missing something here? I appreciate your comments. Hi, I just switched from my Treo 680 to a BBCurve 8320. I found your blog while looking for help in this move.

These programs sync smartphones with the standard Mac applications like Mail and Address Book. Unfortunately these are licensed on a per-phone basis for just about $30 each. What I would do if I were you is buy Missing Sync for palm and sync your Centrino. Then I would buy Missing Sync for Blackberry and sync your new curve. The added bonus is that if you continue using both devices, your computer and phones would all stay in sync. Does that make sense?
