FWIW, there is a GTD Set-up=A0Guide for Blackberry=A0that is downloadable f=
rom DavidCo.com.=A0 I don't use Blackberry, but I did purchase the guide fo=
r ~$20.00 and read it over when I was thinking about transitioning from Pal=
m.=A0 The guide=A0had some useful pointers for GTD in general, but in the e=

I was a Palm user and synced Outlook to my Palm. I switched to a BlackBerry=
.
Syncing Outlook to the BlackBerry is very easy, and it syncs Calendar,
Tasks, Contacts, and Notes.



I don't know if you use categories on the Palm to a great extent. They are
present on the BlackBerry, but not as easy to use. On the other side, the
search function on the BlackBerry Task list is *wonderful*, so anything I
would be using categories for, I put key words in my tasks instead and
search for the key word.



Being a lawyer, I think you will be happy with the BlackBerry. It gets a ba=
d
rap for lack of apps, when there are free apps for the business tools you
would really need and they work extremely well. I did posts on my favorite
BlackBerry and BlackBerry PlayBook apps on my blog during November and
December.=20
