I worked with Outlook 2011 sp1 for a few days, was never able to sync with Blackberry, only succeeded in erasing what I had painstakingly tweaked in the Outlook Calendar.

I keep hearing suggestions that you're supposed to sync with Apple iCal and Address Book first, then sync with Outlook 2011. That seems doomed from the start because the format of Apple Address Book is not nearly as sophisticated as Blackberry's or Outlook.

Not sure what to do, other than sit tight, wait for sp2, and continue with Outlook 2003.

Oh, off topic, the Blackberry Desktop Manager's inability to perform a one-way sync (like DM for Windows) is a serious deficiency.
