Thanks for that. Guess I'll be spending some time here over the coming months as I get to grips with it all.
Thanks for the link. The problem i have is on setting up the email,it starts the wizard, but the only option i have visible is
"I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" - which I don't have. It asks at the next screen if the administrator has given you a password, and allows an attempt at sync, but hangs, then fails obviously.
I'm just really suprised that the only way to sync this up is 1. Through a USB lead & 2. Through installing BES on our exchange server. I'm sure there are valid reasons for this, but like i said in the first post, my N82 sync'd up with outlook in around 5 clicks and then done it via bluetooth in around 20 seconds every so many hours. For what everyone considers a business device, it actually appears to me to be some way behind on the user friendly scale.
But hey, I'm just a frustrated, tired noob - what do i know
