Syncing with Outlook

I am considering the Curve after coming from the Blackjack. One thing that works well with Windows Mobile is Active Sync. It does a great job of syncing my appointments, tasks and contacts. Can I expect the same with the Blackberry Desktop software.

I'm new to Blackberry, but I have had no problems at all syncing with Outlook and I sync several times a day. It does a great job. I have everything from contacts, to tasks, to meetings, to grocery lists in there and it syncs seamlessly every time.

Got the Curve and had one big glitch syncing. After doing a sync to get all of my contacts into the Curve the address book would not search or sort properly.

I'm just thinking that if each of your 700 contacts had nearly every field completed (name, multiple phone #s, addresses, company, multiple emails, etc.) it might take the device several minutes to sort and populate each field properly before being able to accurately display requested information. Just a thought, at least you have it working now.
