Question
Hello,

I recently purchased a blackberry and synced my google calendar to it. This worked great. However, on my computer, I have subscribed to my girlfriend's calendar as well and can see it on my computer, however it does not show up on my blackberry.

Do you know how to make it display on my blackberry?

Thanks for your help.

Ryan

Answer
Multiple Calendars is not a feature that BlackBerry supports. You can set up the BlackBerry so it syncs multiple OutLook calendars in to it's one calendar, but you will see all the entries in the one calendar on the BB.

In Options>Advanced>Service Defaults, you can change what colour these entries appear in depending on the Calendar the were synchronised from so your Personal Calendar can be blue and your work calendar red. This doesn't, however, get round the problem that you can only have one calendar - it just makes it easier to read.

In order to sync the different calendars, go to the desktop manager application, sync options, advanced, and in the calendars section, tick the checkboxes next to the calendars you want to sync.

Hope this helps,
