Google is shutting down Google Sync for BlackBerry on June 1st. The reason is simple – today’s BlackBerry users don’t need it to have their GMail contacts and calendars in sync with their phones with RIM’s updated version of BlackBerry Internet Service supporting the capability out of box, while at the same time making sure duplicate entries are removed (which was a problem with Google’s solution).
Here’s what the search giant said at its official blog:
If you currently use Google Sync for BlackBerry, we encourage you to switch to BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) or the Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server going forward. These alternatives offer a better overall experience, as you can sync your email messages, calendar and contacts through a single service.
Needless to say we advise you to switch to other service as soon as you can…
