I’ve had a Windows Mobile device since 2000. But recently my work gave me a Blackberry 8350i to replace my aging Nextel phone. I had the opportunity to reduce my load from two devices to one. I had to make a lot of changes in order to accomplish my goals of continuing to carry my important business information and integrating the Blackberry into my business routine. One big switch I made was moving from Act! Contact Manager to Outlook. I suppose I could’ve kept Act! if I used the excellent CompanionLink software to sync my device, but I want a more direct solution.
Outlook excels at email, but is not a great contact manager. Act! is a great contact manager but does not excel at email. Hmmmm. If I downloaded the Business Contact Manager for Outlook add-on, I’d have to use CompanionLink, so I felt stuck. That is, until I demo’d Agendus for Outlook.
