QuestionIm a Newbie - be nice - can you use MS Phone with a Blackberry

    Right now I use gmail for my email. I also want to use Outlook on my laptop to manage my day to day.
    I have a blackerry. I used to have a Treo 650 but lost it when job went.  Right now my emails go from gmail into outlook automatically and also show up on Blackberry - which is fine  - I have no idea how the tech set this up.  But for calendar and contacts, I have to synch manually with blackberry desktop manager so that my BB Calendar and Contacts match what I have in Outlook.

    Is there a way that I can dump the gmail account - keep the address since everyone has it - and have my emails go striaght to Outlook?  Right now I have to go into Gmail and clear out my in box when it gets full - plus review any spam that got caught.
    I want just one email manager.

    However - if I do that and I try and access my email from a computer that doesnt have outlook I cant retrieve email - so I use gmail.

    Lastly - is there a wireless synch available from my BBerry to Laptop/Outlook?

    Thanks

    Hi BlackberryJeff,

    The My Phone product from Microsoft only works with Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 devices; it will not work on a Blackberry device.

    It sounds like, though, your question will be better addressed in the ActiveSync & WMDC forum (here ) or the more general Windows Phone forum (here ).
