Blackberry or WM6 device -- which is better for both Mac AND XP

-

45 views , not response changed forums -- advice found here!

after having mbp 3.5 months, i'm trying figure out best phone/pda device can talk both xp desktop/outlook , mac , ical/mail/address book.

have t-mobile wing ok device poor execution due wm6. don't pim stuff mac, want start using ical/mail/address book , stop using outlook, if work me.

have been looking @ t-mobile's new curve (the 8320) replace it. don't need work email or that, idea of push , "real-time" nature of bb mail interface personal email. plus, , big plus, it's whole lot more stable wm6. while multimedia features lacking compared iphone (or wm6) take bb stability , not soft resetting @ least once day less exciting multimedia experience (plus think bb firmware upgrades let me shoot short vids, , media player supposed decent) compared wm6.

iphone not robust pim device i'd (one person's opinion :d), realize it's multmedia capability blows other 2 away.

want able take bb (or wing) , have able talk outlook , mac pim apps mention above seamlessly possible (e.g. sync xp desktop or mac, , not lose appts or contact info updated). contacts/appts/email between 3 should "in-sync" possible. again, realize there hitches in trying above.

above possible, , if so, device better @ it?

more simply, if above impossible, , have pick 1 computer "main" one, device better @ talking mac? goal rid of windows desktop, not yet, if have pick 1 computer "main" 1 in terms of pim stuff, mac.

guess bb , mac along better wm6 , mac (with missing sync, or similar app)?

device, new bb curve or stick wm6 wing?

thanks!
 

i not sure how 1 device handle being synced 2 separate computers.

can tell you, however, used own motorola q. absolutely hated it. windows mobile software terrible. there many steps in equation done , should have been 2 step process took 8 steps.

needed 3rd party program device sync contacts, address books etc on mac. kinda worked.

after way many crashes , slowdowns q, realized why left windows begin with. said, don't believe running wm 6 (i think 5).

ended blackberry 8830. great device. out of box, syncs flawlessly mac apps. cd contains mac program make happen.

said, i've synced once. when email deleted blackberry, deleted email account , vice versa. thing need sync address book, gets updated. don't bother calendars.

in nutshell, windows mobile designed engineers couldn't give rat's arse functionality , ease of use. blackberry software designed brilliant canadians work. reminds me bit of mac. logical.
