... but it doesn't work for me. I downloaded the demo version, which supposedly allows you to sync stickies notes. At first, it seemed to have worked flawlessly: All 28 notes or so seemed to have moved from my G4 PowerBook (OSX 10.3.8) to my BlackBerry 7100v device. But a closer look revealed that some notes had been "cropped" after the first line or two, while others were in their original state. A few tries later, PocketMac wouldn't recognize the device anymore, until finally the software started crashing, and I had to restart, because "force quit" had no effect.
I contacted tech support vial email, who were very quick in replying and helpful in trying to solve the problem, but a few emails later I was thinking to myself: Hey, I'm not a developer. I actually don't have the time to troubleshoot a demo version of a flawed piece of software. I just uninstalled it using their uninstaller.

A final note: I've been trying to sync Palms Pilots, Phones (i.e. T630), and recently BlackBerry with mac applications for years. There has never been software which I found reliable, including Apple's isync. I don't understand why it is so hard to sync data.
