I downloaded the trial version a couple of weeks ago and ended up buying the full version...I'm an academic and I take notes on a lot of different readings and things like that, and I love it! Much better for the small screne than trying to do it in Word like you might on a full computer. I would also recommend IdeaMatrix from RexWireless if you tend to keep notes while you work.

And you can access public folders in Exchange, and delegate content, like calendars. Just an update: WICKSoft now allows you to upload files. :) No need to wait till you get back to the office.

Unfortunatley you are correct we are at the mercy of the carriers when it comes to updating your BlackBerry Device Software to OS 4.5. There is a DataViz Office Mobility Blog that is keeping track of carrier deployment. Although I don't see Sprint in the list this is a place you can reference in the future. http://mobileofficeblog.dataviz.com/2008/07/who_has_blackberry_device_soft.html#more On another note for other BlackBerry users reading this post please be aware that you do not have to have either BIS or BES to use Documents To Go. You can still sideload files. But with the sideloading you still need to have OS 4.5. Also the latest version of BIS now includes attachment support for Documents To Go. Hi Angela,

I can make use of several of these and will definitely do so. One issue, tho, is my BDS is version 4.3 and 4.5 is required for Docs To Go. :-( Looking into whether or not an upgrade is available with my carrier (Sprint). If so, Docs To Go IT IS! Used it on my Palm and loved it. Thank you! I can make use of several of these and will definitely do so. One issue, tho, is my BDS is version 4.3 and 4.5 is required for Docs To Go. :-(
