Using ACT! Connect with my Blackberry

ACT! Connect is a great way of keeping your smart phone (Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Android) updated with your ACT! Contacts and Calendar. I'm using it to update my Blackberry's contacts and calendar.

To set it up, there's a link in ACT! 2012 under "Connections", helpfully called "ACT! Connect". Click on the free 30 day trial link. Once you've registered, you are sent a link to download an App to your phone and another one to install the software on your PC or Server. Follow the instructions and install the app and the PC software.

The synchronisation is all done through a secure Sage Portal, which usefully gives you a web calendar and contacts that you can view from any browser, like the iPad, and your laptop via Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari. You can schedule the PC to sync automatically with the portal. Your phone then syncs with the portal, which you can do manually or schedule this as well.

It's simple and it works and I like it. Have a look at the demo:
