CentOS - May 2009 - [OT] Anyone use a Blackberry?

Hi All,

I know off topic, but I just cant get solutions and you all are always  
so helpful.

I have a blackberry curve 8310 and I really need to keep track of  
clients, their e-mails, notes, pdfs, etc. basically everything about a  
customer.

I want to deploy it here in my apartment (I have a static IP) and  
either have my BB connect or sync at the end of the day or something.

I just cannot find a low cost (or free) solution where I can make this  
happen.

Does anybody know of anything? I run OS X (primarily), Windows (for on  
the go on a netbook) and CentOS.

-Jason

Hi Jason,

Unless you absolutely have to have groupware functionality + shared tasks,
shared calender, etc on your blackberry, and want to pay extra for PUSH,
it's not necessary to go this route.

Simply setup an IMAP server, and set your blackberry  to connect to the IMAP
server, This is how I do mine, and it work very well.

Google has a BB app that will sync contacts and calendars to their 
servers.  There are serveral SyncML clients, if my memory serves, that 
will sync to open source products.

Further, BB now supports IDLE, which produces "push" type (instant) 
email on IMAP.  Cyrus supports IDLE.  I am not sure about the others.
