I have had a PDA 12 years, a Treo for 1 yr, and a BB Bold 6 months (becasue I had to 'fit' into corporate. I have been searching for a rational response to the INCREDIBLY slow sync for 5.99 months. Every other discussion and thread that I have seen up to now basically said:

NEWBY: Why is the BB sync excruciatingly slow?
BBPRO: If you don't like it, maybe you should be more open minded and evaluate what you really want in a device i.e. "This is a BB, how dare you criticize, go back to your old PDA."

How wonderful to see HailStorm's rational response, "RIM, please get this fixed. It should be trivial." My Treo with the same 1500 contacts and 1500 calendar entries synced about 17 times faster. The algorithm is simple - tag any entries that are added/changed/deleted and only compare/update those.

Thanks for a ray of hope. Maybe someone could work on the global search capability next...
