What do you know about Conflict Resolver?
After syncing my Blackberry 8830 to my iMac with Pocketmac there are 2500 conflicts to resolve. They date back to 2002 and many of them are repeated multiple times. The only solution is to click on Conflict Resolver 2500 times. Is there another solution other than the iPhone. I like my 8830, but this syncing is getting tedious. And, yes I have tried Missing Sync. I guess I will give it another whirl, but how do I fix my Conflict Resolver problem? There doesn't seem to be any global (make this go away) solution.

THE CONFLICT RESOLVER
Both iSync and .Mac syncing can occasionally encounter conflicts
in the information being synced that exceed the capability of the sync
engine and the truth database to resolve automatically. Such conflicts
can occur when you change the same item of information on two
different devices between syncs: for example, suppose you change
a contact?s phone number on your phone, and also in your Address
Book?but, by mistake, you make a typo in the Address Book entry.
Because both changes happened between sync sessions, the sync
engine cannot ascertain which change takes precedence when you
finally do sync. Whenever such conflicts arise, Tiger presents a
Conflict Resolver dialog asking you to resolve the conflicts. You can
choose to resolve the conflicts immediately, or wait until a later time
to resolve them.
TIP The syncing status menu (see Sync by button or menu) becomes
almost essential when it comes to resolving conflicts: when you
choose to resolve conflicts at a later time, the syncing status menu
displays the number of conflicts waiting to be resolved along with
a Conflict Resolver menu item you can choose when you decide you
want to resolve the conflicts. If you don?t have the syncing status
menu visible, though, you?ll have to make your way to /System/
Library/CoreServices/ to find the Conflict Resolver application.
Since you shouldn?t mess around in this important directory, I
suggest you show the syncing status menu in your menu bar.
The extremely simple interface of the Conflict Resolver appears in
Figure 16. The Conflict Resolver displays each set of items that conflict
and requests you to select the right one. Click the item with the
correct information and then click Continue to resolve the conflict.
You can choose to fix all conflicts manually, stepping through them
one by one with the Previous and Continue buttons, or you can select
the Resolve All Similar Conflicts Using source name checkbox.
?Similar conflicts? are those that have a similar cause: for example,
conflicting timestamps in calendar events, as shown in Figure 16.
When you select the checkbox and click Continue, the Conflict
Resolver uses the information source you picked for resolving
the similar conflicts.

Found this, sounds like you can resolve similar conflicts together...

Wow, Thank you so much. I never expected so much information. I am not sure where to start, but I will give it a shot. Again, thank you very much.......
