"No it doesn't work"
Version: BlackBerry Desktop Manager 2.2.1.7
Pros
None until it works
Cons
It can't find the Mac Address Book. Either this is Apple's fault (ie. they're trying to ring fence Address Book to only synch with the icloud) or BB's fault (it can't find the right directory). I think I'll fiddle with my Mac's permissions, but I din't think that will help.

"I cannot sync my devices now!"
Version: BlackBerry Desktop Manager 2.2.1.7
Pros
Easy to install
Cons
I don't know if it is iCloud or the new Blackberry software update, but I now cannot sync my calendars and contacts between my Mac and Blackberry! I have spent several hours on the phone with AppleCare and they cannot find a solution. I don't even know how I could contact Blackberry. Aaagh!

"RIM's best inducement to buy an iPhone"
Version: BlackBerry Desktop Manager 2.2.1.7
Pros
East to install
Cons
Doesn't work
Summary
On my Mac, Desktop Manager can't even see iCal much less sync it. It won't back up my phone and it only pretends to sync my contacts (everything looks good until you check your BB and the contacts haven't updated). The worst of it is, this software used to work and RIM has messed it up.
