I recently purchased the Blackberry Curve. I downloaded the PocketMac software however, can not sync the two. There is software called the Missing Sync although it is a 40.00 download. I’ll returne this phone for a palm as I know the Mac will sync fine..

I bought a Blackberry Curve and the Pocket Mac software will not work. I have worked with Alltel techs and we have done everthing but it will not work? Anyone have any luck with the 8330 at all?

I bought the BlackBerry Curve (8330) for the Telus network and it would not sync with my Mac at all.

It also had some other issues like the backlight would dim on and off at random, even though I changed the setting so it would not dim at all, also it would not charge unless I took the battery out then put it back in … then turn the phone off and charge.

So I ended up refunding it as they had no more in stock for me to exchange
I only had a 15 day refund policy so I did not want to wait two weeks for them to get more in stock.

Does anyone else have the same issue or do you think I just had a lemon and should try again in a month?

Thx!

@d martin

Depending on who your carrier is, you might have to have the option to tether the mobile with your laptop. I know for ATT that is the case.

I am surprised you were able to get your curve to work as a tethered Macintosh modem. It has been my unfortunate discovery that there are quite a few people who stay connected for only a few minutes then must reset their phones. I wonder if it is a QA problem with the curve hardware.

Thanks for these helpful articles. As a prolific mac user I’m very interested in upgrading my piece of crap (yet still works) Nokia in for an iPhone. However, reading your article, it seems something like the Curve would be a pretty smart buy. I have but a few questions for you.

1- How doesn’t the Wi-Fi work on the phone? T-Mobile told me that it SHOULD connect to any wireless network. Your experience?

2- How does the Curve sync with your address, calendars, etc with the mac and can it do it via bluetooth? This is probably the most important for me.

I’ve never used automater so I’m not familiar with it uses. Sounds like I should be.

3- As for syncing your goodies, i.e. photos, music, videos, it sounds like it is mostly a manual task, managing the things you want and don’t want on it.

Again, thanks for the articles.

best wishes,

mr sansom
