If you really want to work smart using your Blackberry, then you really need to get it talking with your PC.

BlackBerry Desktop Manager allows you to sync your BlackBerry with your Windows computer effortlessly, giving you the ability to back up and share files without hassle. The application allows you to install new applications, as well as synchronizing contacts, tasks and messages between device and PC. There's also a 'Media' section for copying photos, video and audio; plus a Backup & Restore tool for managing the backup of your BlackBerry's data.

It's worth noting that the user interface within the BlackBerry Desktop Manager makes all these jobs really easy to perform. It's just a case of clicking on the right icon and following the steps in the wizard-style GUI. The only settings you really need to worry about are the connection and data folder options, which are pretty straightforward anyway.

The main downside to BlackBerry Desktop Manager is that it's a bit of a beast. The download is over 200Mb and the installation takes an age, but it's worth the wait.

If you want to backup, synchronize and share data with your device, BlackBerry Desktop Manager is the answer.

One of the problems of using your mobile phone for day-to-day tasks has always been that the screen size is very small, and the fact is, that will always remain the case. However, there are ways that you can access your mobile on the big screen by hooking it up to your PC.

MyPhoneExplorer provides you with a complete suite for controlling and managing your cellphone from your home computer. Connection is established very quickly, and the package detects the device either via USB cable, Bluetooth or Infrared.

Once you've synched, you can pretty much access everything on your PC. Perhaps one of the main uses for it is to co-ordinate your contacts. This is made very simple through MyPhoneExplorer and you simply need to click the 'Phone' or 'SIM' option under the 'Contacts' tab. Likewsie, the app gives you direct sync to Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes and Thunderbird.

The interface is very clearly laid out and displays all the information from you phone in a format that's much easier to read than on the device itself. For instance, you can access and manage your organizer, alarms, messages and phone settings, viewing everything in large format. What's more, because it has its own caching system, the transfer of files from phone to PC, and vice versa, it very quick indeed.

In terms of its presentation and performance MyPhoneExplorer can't be faulted. In fact, the only niggily thing about the program for me is the fact that it installs an eBay toolbar in your browser by default (it's easy to skip this step though).

If you use a Sony Ericsson phone and need to sync it with your PC, MyPhoneExplorer presents probably the best platform for doing so.

P2KTools Mod allows you to synchronize data from your P2K Motorola Phone to your PC. We have to admit that we were a bit confused by this application when we first came across it, and the fact that it is only in Spanish was partly reason for that.

After a bit of tinkering with it, we managed to understand the different things you can do with P2KTools Mod. Once you’ve connected your Motorola phone to your PC and opened up the program, you’ll be able to access a number of customizing options. We liked the little preview window, handy when creating your own theme and checking it out before setting it on your phone. You can also check your contacts and events stored on your phone and edit them on your PC from the P2KTools Mod.

A large part of the program is also dedicated to configuring and editing your SIM card. You can create a backup copy on your PC, setting bit rate or converting from UCS to ASCI and vice versa. The program also lets you set menu elements like IM, messaging and the use of Java in your Motorola phone.

P2KTools Mod is an interesting application that caters to users who enjoy modding their own phones. However, the fact that it only works with Motorola models and is only in Spanish will limit the number of users it can appeal to.

The Windows Mobile OS is pretty good, but in my opinion it's not a patch on Windows XP. If you yearn for a more user-friendly operating system with improved functionality then look no further than My Mobiler.

The application makes using your mobile a darn-sight easier, allowing you to move files via drag-and-drop, control the system with a keyboard and mouse, copy documents from the Windows clipboard and capture your mobile screen with a built-in screenshot function.

In order to get the program to communicate with your desktop PC you'll need to install and ActiveSync. An icon will appear on your desktop to launch the free program, from where you can remotely control your mobile.

As soon as you start using your Smartphone in this way, you'll notice how much easier everything is when dragging and dropping files, and using the keyboard and the mouse to control your device. The connection works very well and we didn't notice any significant delay between performing an action on the PC and it appearing on the mobile display.

It's a shame this kind of functionality isn't available as default in Windows Mobile soyou can use it on the move because My Mobiler demonstrates how much easier the native Windows system is to operate.

PocketMirror Professional is advanced Outlook synchronization software built around the way you use Outlook—and how you've wished you could use your Pocket PC.

Life is busy. You don’t need technology slowing you down. So, why let ActiveSync software organize your Outlook information on your Pocket PC in a way that makes your data harder to find? Now you have a choice.

PocketMirror Professional for Windows Mobile is the only Outlook synchronization software that does both of the following:

• Synchronize multiple Outlook Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks folders with the corresponding Pocket Outlook applications on the handheld
• Synchronize Outlook folders and categories on your PC with corresponding categories on your Windows Mobile handheld or smartphone

Meaning, PocketMirror Professional for Windows Mobile is built around the way you have already organized your important information in Outlook on your desktop. Items in multiple folders on the desktop get transferred to the handheld in tact and into folder-like categories, not just dispersed among the items' assigned categories.

Google Calendar is an online agenda tool which is increasing in popularity as both individuals and organisations adopt it for a more flexible, easy to use calendar app. Of course, you can access Google Calendar from your mobile but given that your phone already includes a calendar app, wouldn't it make sense to simply sync your Google Calender appointments with your default calendar app?

This is where GSyncMobile comes in. It's a simple little program, it's easy to use and it works perfectly. Simply add your Google account credentials, press 'Sync' and the program downloads your appointments and automatically adds them to your phone's calendar. You can configure how far ahead (and how many days back) the program should look for events. GSyncMobile is compatible with Google Apps accounts, so it can be used if you or your organisation have just switched to using Google for email etc.

A great little program with no visible flaws, beyond the fact that users can't sync events from their phone to their Google Calendar.

If you're fed up having different applications for different systems then GCalSync could be the thing for you. However, an early health warning, this is in early stages and there are some problems.

First, the good news: GCalSync allows a two-way sychronisation between Google Calendar and your phone's built-in calendar meaning you only ever need to add important dates once and then upload them. Also if an event has been changed in Google Calendar since the last sync then it will be updated on the phone.

Now the bad news: If an event has been changed on the phone, the changes will not be uploaded to Google Calendar; reminders are not supported; recurring events are treated as multiple events. However, despite the problems there's great potential here.

However, if you have connected Nokia Media Transfer through Bluetooth wireless technology at least once, Nokia Media Transfer will use the Bluetooth name you’ve set up in the device’s Bluetooth settings (e.g. Jessie’s Nokia N95).
