I recommend you go to crackberry.com. I have a storm and numerous macs  
that are all sync'd . if you sift through the crap on the forums - it  
can been a fantastic resource. Pocketmac is awful - don't use it - use  
google sync You will need spanning sync as well if you want to use  
ical. Once you get everything synced it all works. Verizon is  
incapable of providing support for the mac - if you are patient,  
crackberry will. In fact, they just posted a great video on how to  
tether ones blackberry to a mac via bluetooth - Verizon claims it  
can't be done and I am using it to post this message.

good luck.
