Anybody know any way of getting a BlackBerry Curve 9320 to sync with my PPC Tiger machines? iSync doesn't appear to like it so I was wondering if anybody knew of alternative ways?
 
There used to be 3rd party apps to connect unsupported devices in isync. I forget the name of the program I used back in the day but it probably wouldn't support a newer BlackBerry like the 9320 anyways.

What about skipping isync and using the BlackBerry desktop manager?

This bunch do sync apps for various devices:

I used to use one for Pocket PC and my G4 iMac millions of years ago...don't know whether they have a combo still relevant to your setup?
 
Was the BB Desktop Manager ever available for PowerPC?

The Missing Sync for BlackBerry did indeed run on PowerPC including OS X Tiger so check it out. As for BlackBerry Desktop Manager, I know that it did not work on Tiger but I believe older versions ran on PPC when running Leopard. This however hinges on whether the old copies of the software would even work with a Curve 9320!

I'm not sure what the last PPC compatible version was.

2.3 is PPC compatible I believe, though I'm not sure about 2.3 and your phone.

MissingSync is the program I used way back when.
 
Despite the kinda ridiculous £40 price, MissingSync appears to be my only viable choice. Thanks for your input everyone. :)
