Believe me, I have searched for an answer to this. What is the best way to sync a Blackberry with a Mac?

Since Outlook 2011 shows no progress towards sync serves (allowing it to sync Calendar, Tasks, Memos) I'm thinking there must be a way to use the standard Apple Calendar/email/address book. But the address book is so useless (can't sort by Company/last name, only first name or last name). And so far I've had no luck at all syncing the Blackberry calendar with Apple iCal.

Everything I read about Entourage 2008 indicates I should just STAY AWAY.

I've been using Parallels on my Macbook since 2006, and Outlook 2003 is absolutely perfect for my needs. Except for the fact that I have to run Windows. Is this really the best solution? I welcome any and all suggestions.

Thanks, Jim
