Synchronizing Personal Information Management (PIM) Data

You can synchronize PIM data with your BlackBerry®. PIM data includes calendar, address book, contacts, tasks, and memos.

You can synchronize PIM data via two methods:

Synchronize wirelessly with your BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. Any changes you make to your PIM data on your computer are synchronized with your BlackBerry® wirelessly, and vice-versa. There is no need for you to connect your BlackBerry® to your computer to synchronize.

NOTE: Wireless synchronization is supported on BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 4.0 and higher. Check with your IT department to determine if your BlackBerry Enterprise Server supports wireless synchronization.
Synchronize with your computer using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and by connecting the BlackBerry® to your computer using the USB cable.
