If you are a BES Admin and have problems to push wireless some software (e.g. the IBM Sametime client) to your users this short tip may help you (this can happen at the moment when your user use a BlackBerry Storm).
At first open the BlackBerry Manager (not the Desktop manager), go to BlackBerry Domain -> Software Configuration Status (on the right side, its a tab). In the list check for the following line:
GetHHCodePackages reported: HHCM_DEVICE_NOT_SUPPORTED. Upgrade your copy of device.xml
If you see it (and the date is from today or yesterday, ...) then download the latestdevice.xml and vendor.xml from the RIM Website:
https://www.blackberry.com/Desktop/Download/XML/Device.xml
https://www.blackberry.com/Desktop/Download/XML/Vendor.xml
Copy these files to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader.
For more information see "How to update the device.xml file ".
RIM has released Desktop Manager 4.7 on their site. Nothing really new in the new manager other than support for the Storm from what I can tell.

The people from turtleweb build a nice solution (free at the moment) which can be used to sync a shared Lotus Notes Contact DB with your BlackBerry devices. The basis of the solution is a fairly straight-forward 'persistent store & push listener' model. The idea is that the Notes database can push down contacts data (or other elements when you change the design), which is then stored locally on the BlackBerry. The BlackBerry app allows the user to search for contacts and to make calls and send emails directly from within the app.
