BlackBerry Forums Support Community - View Single Post - Sync 8830 w/ Outlook via Bluetooth using VMWare

I recently downloaded Blackberry's Desktop Manager 5.0 onto Windows XP, which is run on my Macbook Pro via a virtual machine using the VM Ware Fusion program. I have Outlook 2003 installed and am able to sync my Blackberry flawlessly using a USB connection. However, this sync method is slow and time consuming, and must be reinitiated every time I make a change to Contacts or Calendar on either my Blackberry 8830 World Edition or Outlook. Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to sync using Bluetooth instead? Currently VM Ware recognizes my Apple USB Host Controller, but the Blackberry Desktop Manager does not pick it up. Any help on fixing this is appreciated.
