You should be able to do this if you get a BES server (or a pair of hosted BES accounts, which sounds like the better option as it's only 2 users).

Check out Mark Rejhon's FAQ on the subject.

No you cannot do this wirelessly.

You can do it if you plug the BlackBerry into the PC and run through the Intellisync options to sync the two calendars, but they will appear on the BlackBerry in a single calendar.

zro is incorrect - you can sync calendar/etc OTA thru BES

With the right BES you can do it. But you will need 4.0 BES software or a 4.0 BES provider.

You can sync YOUR calendar wirelessly, but you cannot sync someone else's calendar with yours wirelessly.

Zro is not incorrect about this.

Doesn't the BES have group calendaring functions?

It's a matter of interpretations.

Implicitly, Zro is correct, if you interpret it as:
"You cannot sync someone else's calendar on YOUR calendar on your BlackBerry, unless you use the group calendaring feature"...

Just a matter of clarifications

(By the way, I know where Zro works. It's a three letter company starting with R -- he mentioned that earlier in this forum)
