Jay,

This is a too-quick response, so no links at the moment, but the only
way I've seen people use a BB with evolution is to set up an account
with Google calendar or a similar calendar service, like scheduleworld.
They become the intermediary between your BB and evolution. I haven't
experimented with Google fully, but I'm beginning to use it now. Google
has a client you can download onto your BB for syncing purposes. 

Hope this gets you started...

With best regards,

Pete
