On the BlackBerry section of Experts-Exchange, reader royaltech strongly implies that some of the sync process between the Outlook 2007 Beta and his Nextel BlackBerry 7520 is a royal pain.

"Since I installed Office 2007 my Nextel BB 7520 will not sinc the text fields of Notepad and contacts," he writes. "I have the latest d/l Desktop manager 4.1 and the handheld 4.1, what more should I do?"

WellRed has the answer. It's a rather well-read workaround, but it will help you get there.
"Open the Desktop Manager software and select Intellisync. From there choose Configure PIM," he explains. "This will open a window with Address Book, Calendar, Memos, and Contacts."

Then WellRed points out that if you are ONLY using Office 2007 then all of these should have a two headed arrow that shows MS Outlook. If they do not you can change them by making sure that whichever one is not (Address Book, Calendar, Memos, or Contacts) is highlighted, click on choose to the right.

He assures readers that doing this will open up the Translator window where you can choose MS Outlook. And he does tell us to ensure that the folder at the bottom is pointing to the right place.

You may have the PIM configured to only synchronize the mapped fields in your address book. To change the mapping of the address book complete the following steps:

1. In Desktop Manager, double-click Intellisync.
2. In the Intellisync window, click Configure PIM.
3. Click the Address Book to highlight it.
4. Click the Configure button and select Advanced Settings. The Advanced Settings for Address Book window opens.
5. Click Field Mapping at the bottom of the window. If an Intellisync message appears, click OK. The Field Mapping for Address Book window opens. The left-hand column displays the available fields in your handheld address book. The right-hand column displays the available fields in the address book on your computer. The mapped fields display a double arrow in the middle column.
6. If the field you want to display is adjacent to the corresponding handheld field, click in the middle column to map the fields. A double arrow appears in the middle column.
7. If the field you want to display is not adjacent to a corresponding handheld field, drag the field in the right-hand column and drop it next to an available field in the left-hand column. For example, if you want to see your contacts' department information on your handheld, move the Department field next to the User Defined 1 field.
8. Click OK to close the Field Mapping for Address Book window. Click OK to close the Advanced Settings for Address Book window. If an Intellisync message appears, click OK. Click OK to close the Handheld Configuration window.
9. In the Intellisync window, click Synchronize Now. After you synchronize, the mapped fields should appear on the handheld.
10. Now synchronize again.
