Palm's Blackberry Connect software for the Treo650 is worthless

Blackberry announced Blackberry Connect software for the Treo 650.

It uses the built in VersaMail mail client. How often do you hear people asking for a mail client on their phone or pda "just like Versamail?"

The answer is never. Snappermail and Chatteremail (my current fave) are what power users tend to use.

Futhermore, it seems that the Blackberry connect server does sync the mailbox and calendar with a blackberry enterprise server, but not the contacts, which means that you still need to sync your phone with your computer to do backups and sync your contacts.

Perhaps Blackberry doesn't want to cannibalize sales of their own devices.

This might be useful for those people who work at an organization that has a Blackberry Enterprise Server, and wants to look at using Treos, but doesn't want to consider using Goodlink's services, which sync contacts, calendar and mail.

I don't think that market exists.
