I think the primary differences between BBerrySync and Thinkpost are:
1. BBerrySync does not require you to use our webmail service (we don't even have a webmail service
) and Thinkpost needs you to use their webmail service.
2. Because of the webmail issue, the Calendar, Task and Notes syncing is done with their server and the data is stored. I would loosely call this a GMail type of deal (in so much that you are now transfering all the data that you want synced to the webserver).
3. BBerrySync is a handshake server service. That means that we do not hold on to your data after the sync transaction. Our system only keeps the ID of the data items so we can keep track. I believe this to be an important issue for security reasons. That is why I never keep all my information on webmail servers (I use Hotmail) but prefer to keep it on my PC Outlook.
4. As for the pricing, we look to be around the same ball park. They are month to month and we are a yearly fee with a free test period. Our fee breaks down to $5 a month.
5. I would really like to hear feedback from those that have tried both to see how the difficult sync issues are dealt with. For example, those familiar with BBerrySync know that we have issues with Recurring Cal items and the occurence of recurring items. We can handle single events without issue, but it is that last 5% that separates the good from the acceptable.
6. From what I see, thinkpost does not sync sent and draft mail from PC to BB. Please do let me know if I am wrong on this.
I really welcome some serious testing of the two solutions to see what the differences are so that end users can make an informed choice of what is the best solution for them.
Thanks.
