Hi All,
I know off topic, but I just cant get solutions and you all are always so helpful.
I have a blackberry curve 8310 and I really need to keep track of clients, their e-mails, notes, pdfs, etc. basically everything about a customer.
I want to deploy it here in my apartment (I have a static IP) and either have my BB connect or sync at the end of the day or something.
I just cannot find a low cost (or free) solution where I can make this happen.
Does anybody know of anything? I run OS X (primarily), Windows (for on the go on a netbook) and CentOS.

Hi Jason,
Unless you absolutely have to have groupware functionality + shared tasks, shared calender, etc on your blackberry, and want to pay extra for PUSH, it's not necessary to go this route.
Simply setup an IMAP server, and set your blackberry to connect to the IMAP server, This is how I do mine, and it work very well.

Google has a BB app that will sync contacts and calendars to their servers. There are serveral SyncML clients, if my memory serves, that will sync to open source products.

Further, BB now supports IDLE, which produces "push" type (instant) email on IMAP. Cyrus supports IDLE. I am not sure about the others.
Hi Guys.
Oh, I might not have been totally clear.
What I want is to be able to have one record per person and inside that record see all invoices I have sent, their product serial numbers, all the e-mails, etc,etc Be able to send and receive or link e-mails to the customers record, etc.

Hi Jason,
What you're looking for has nothing todo with Blackberry then. Blackberry essentially is a "protocol" like MS Exchange, and they produce their own phones as well.
Treat the blackberry handset as any other mobile / handheld / PDA device :)
What you're looking for is some sort of SQL database type program, and if you want to invoice clients as well, I suggest you look for a PHP+MySQL type billing manager. phpCoin is free and will do what you want, store everything in one central place, allowing you to access the records from your blackberry / PC / laptop / friend's PC / internet cafe, etc. We use WHMCS for our hosting billing and I can do exactly what you want todo. What's quite nice, is if I'm on holiday and I want to check up on a client's details (payments / support tickets / contact details / etc), I can use my Nokia E61 (which for me works better than the blackberry phones), or any internet cafe, or my wife's Titan HTC Touch.
