What do you want to sync your device with? You're only painting half the picture for us here.

my outlook calendar and outlook contacts

Nope, you're out of luck there. You'd need BES and an Exchange server to wirelessly sync with Outlook.

For BIS users, your best bet is something like Google Sync which would wirelessly sync your device with GMail.

I do sync my 9700 contacts and calendar wirelessly to my PC using bluetooth. If your PC does not have Bluetooth capability, there are inexpensive USB bluetooth adapters avaialbe (I use Rocketfish).

Desktop Manager does allow wireless sync.

Wireless sync and bluetooth sync, 2 different things.
Wireless sync, you do nothing it happens automatically.
Bluetooth sync, you have to open DM and tell it to sync.

Google sync for contacts and calendar works well. Sync your Outlook contacts and calendar to Google and then sync the BB.

would the "syncamatic app for outlook" work? sorry i can not yet post links because i don't have 10 posts

Why will not take a look at our suggestions? We know this works.

One review says: syncamatic app for outlook: Good idea, poor at best implementation. Duplicate entries almost everyday for contacts and tasks. Can't handle recurring appointments either. Ended up losing all of them. Needs some serious work.
