Applications

BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 and 4.2 includes the following applications designed to support the new features:

• Media Manager (For more information, see KB05398.)
• Switch Device Wizard (For more information, see KB05421.)

Menu changes and naming

Although some layout changes have been applied to BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 and 4.2, the functionality of all the previous components of BlackBerry Desktop Manager remain the same. The enhancements made to BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 and 4.2 are described in the following table.

Application Loader

By default, the Include applications that are installed on the connected device only check box is selected. This allows the BlackBerry smartphone user to install BlackBerry® Device Software while making sure that wirelessly installed applications remain on the BlackBerry smartphone when the BlackBerry Device Software is re-installed.

Backup and Restore

The Backup and Restore function has been updated to account for data stored on the media card, and the Advanced Backup and Restore window now includes a list of available and read-only databases.

Email Settings

This application was formerly known as Redirector Settings. The Advanced tab in this application contains a Message delivery status section. Clicking the Status button opens the BlackBerry® Desktop Redirector.

Synchronize

This application was formerly know as Intellisync®. The functions originally contained in a single window have been separated into two tabs. The two tabs are Synchronize and Configuration.

Any idea when or if it will be updated for Pocket Mac ?

Any idea when or if it will be updated for Pocket Mac ?

BlackBerry Desktop Manager will most likely never support Mac as PocketMac is being maintained for this purpose. Currently PocketMac has been updated to version v4.0.20b which adds support for the latest devices. On my Mac I personally use "The Missing Sync for BlackBerry" which works perfect, for more info have a look at this link: http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_blackberry.php

Is there a site in Asia Pacific / Australia where one can download the "Desktop Manager" this 230MB file even on high speed broadband is looking like 2.5 hours of download each time I try to download it (and it feels like it might actually take much longer) ?

I just uploaded it to my server for you - DOWNLOAD NOW

Thanks for this, it is looking like just over an hour for the download and is coming down pretty consistently (unlike North America which kept bombing). Very much appreciated.
