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.
