Don't quote me on this but I believe you need a piece of RIM software to get it working. It is indeed possible to do, but I am pretty sure you need a third party RIM software to get it to sync properly with Linux. Once you do that, I recommend using Evolution. The KOrganizer and KAddressBook are fine but I personally prefer Evolution. If you like that others, that's cool, I think they'll work all the same in the end. But anyway, I am pretty sure you need the RIM software.
So... You're saying I need some software from RIM?
Do you know what, precisely? What's it called? Is is free (of charge)? Open Source? Is it officially distributed by RIM? Is it supported?
I'll go do some more hunting, but if you can tell me a little more about this "RIM software," I'd appreciate it.
Randall, Is this phone blue tooth? If so it should work so far as backups etc to get the data from phone to computer and back again.. Did you try Kandy, of Kitchen sync? Kandy seems to have some sort of scheme to put things into phone books etc. Documents can actually just be put into any sort of folder/file you would want to. I have had no luck using anything except blue tooth, not even after buying the Motorolla razr( it's what I have here, but expect to get a balckeberry this go round.) But we bought the usb cord they sold for the razr and it just never would sync w/ the box... Other than that if you get any more info, please post it.. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested. ;) j -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
