I started to download Unite and heard many complaints about it. I heard that the computer has to be running for it to work. This would be a nightmare if I were out of town and the power went out. I am unsure if this is the case, though. Also, heard that Unite took up tremendous resources on computer. I have a PC that I need to have the RAM for due to certain apps and this wouldn't workout too well.
My solution was to spend the extra money and get Exchange hosting. It truly improved the function of my Blackberry and was worth every penny. Now I can go anywhere in the world and as long as I have a browser I have access to calendar, tasks, notes, and my email. I also put some of my files on the server so I can work outside of my home. Since I have two computers (One mac and one PC) they are always in sync between everything. Also Mailstreet gave me the most recent Entourage 2008 and Outlook 2007. This alone was worth some money to me. All in all, I am pleased with the decision to do this versus going the Unite route. However, Unite might be better in that it is free and that it doesn't require what I think it does (i.e. always on computer). If you want to investigate Mailstreet call and ask for Andy Hosler. He walked me through the entire setup from beginning to end. Very helpful guy.
Good luck!
