Hey folks,
I'm not sure if I'm alone in this or not, but it sure seems like it. I am looking forward to using BB10, but in order for me to do so, I need to make sure it can do one specific, albeit unusual task. This is something that I've managed to do for several years now quite successfully starting on my Bold 9000, 9700, and now Torch 9810. I use an application called Funambol OneMediaHub. I've seen a few people on here use it, but it doesn't get mentioned often, so it must not be too popular. In any case, I use my account there to sync my phone's calendar, contacts, memos, and tasks to their "cloud" server. It keeps a copy there, and is updated each time I make a change. I have agents for this application on my phone, my computer, my wife's phone and my wife's computer, as well as another wifi only 9700 device I keep in my room. The application keeps the contacts, the calendar, etc synchronized across each of these devices. I do this because whenever my wife adds a calendar entry, or updates one of our friends' phone numbers or email address in the contacts, that it is then automatically sent to my phone, my computer, etc. It's been a fantastic setup, and has been extremely useful to us the past few years. So, being the proactive kind of guy I am, I contacted Funambol to find out if they were going to release a version for BB10, as its been just awesome. I was floored when I found out that they have no plans to release a version for BB10!

So, at this point, I'm really in a pickle, because that is really the only thing standing in the way of me going BB10. :crying: So, what other options are there/will there be, once BB10 is released? Funambol worked well because it did not change any information as it synced. I think I tried using a Google Calendar once, and I think Google's contacts too, but I remember it failed a lot of times, and also made changes and dropped information. Don't know if it still does that, but at the time it did. It was just a pain to use if I remember correctly. It also doesn't seem to work on my Playbook either, so I've pretty much abandoned Google's calendar sync method. What else is out there that would do this same sort of thing? IS there even anything else that is remotely similar, or am I up a creek here?
