I need to upgrade my communications abilities and am wondering if anyone has experiences they could share regarding Blackberry or Treo use in an Apple environment.

My ISP/Cell provider, Verizon, provides and supports both devices, so no issues there.

Which device is best supported in an Apple environment?

Which device is easiest to synch in an Apple environment?

Etc.

Any an all remarks about your joys, frustrations, experiences will be gratefully received before I make this substantial commitment.

Many thanks!

AcroChik,

Neither device is supported directly by the Mac OS. However, you can purchase software to make it work with iSync. It is made by markspace (http://www.markspace.com) and can be downloaded to your Mac. I've no first-hand experience of the software, but have met some people who use it with PocketPC-type devices, and they say it works as advertised on the website.

AppleMacster...

Thanks for your helpful reply.

I'd called everyone I know with Apple comps and a cell, and the replies have started coming in.

Reviews are generally "good," for the MarkSpace app with no "raves."

Looking at it and continuing my research.

When I've done my upgrade I'll post it here with a review.
