At first I couldn't find those files so emailed the S4BB support with a copy of my purchase email and they sent me a link to download the files again if I needed to. Great service!

    It feels good to be connected and mobile again

    How much does NextAction for BB cost? I've been really considering the switch to a blackberry (after having owned 3 palms). My biggest concern is ease of syncing with Mac OS (my main, and only favorite, computer-based OS). I do not use Outlook. I only use Gmail (and occasionally mac Mail) for email. I guess the best software would be something that pulls information from gmail and google notebooks, but as of yet, I think the only way to access that, on a phone atleast, is via a phone webbrowser. Getting a phone PDA is pretty essential, but the syncing quagmire (what mac programs will it sync with) has been hellishly complicated in the past. I know there's a bb mac-based conversion program, but the fact that I don't use and microsoft products (just a preference choice after trying all of them out, not some "boycott" of the software) makes any "syncing activity" betweek Macbook and pda seem complicated.

    Unfortunately, after playing the "reading reviews" game (which almost always clash with each other) and considering personality and life style differences (everything from sleep patterns, to work habits and needs), I've discovered that only by trying out a pda phone or just normal phone for 2-12 weeks is the only sure-fire way of knowing how efficient it is and if it will, ultimately, "work" with my own personal GTD system
