GTD success with Groupwise Checklist and Blackberry?

[cmlim]

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone out there has some advice. I'm moving to a new company and the GTD setup I had won't work anymore. Specifically, I'm moving from an MS Outlook company to a Groupwise 6.5 company. I'm still getting used to the new setup. I've searched through the forums and seen a few threads, but has anyone had success using GTD with the Groupwise checklist function?

Also, the new company does not distribute PDAs like my old did. They will support them if we buy them, but that is all. By coincidence, my cell contract is up and if I' switch, I was going to get a blackberry if I can so I can reduce my number of devices.

How good is BB at managing tasks? If I can't bend Groupwise to my will, I'm thinking I'll just use the BB for task management and Groupwise for e-mail. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Any answers

Did you ever get any assistance with your questions anywhere?

I have just joined a groupwise environment.

I have never had a Blackberry but I have the misfortune of using Groupwise!

My advice to you would be to use Groupwise only for email - and to find another way to do the rest of GTD - I use a filofax as I don't trust Groupwise for anything else other than my email. (Even as a calendar it seems to have some flaws).

Funnily enough, I'm about to start a new job where they have Outlook and a Blackberry ... so I'll be asking a similar question but in reverse in a few weeks' time!!
