Public Contacts and Outlook

Am I missing something (NOT an Office specialist to be sure), or is there not
a way to make a Public Contacts folder (On Exchange 2003) to be the default
address book?
I don't mean when your sending, but if we need to open and look at a conacts
phone number, phsical address etc, we have to click on a shortcut.
We use public folders, and all share the contact info.
But, we also synch Blackberry devices, and need that to be the default.
Any help, or is it NOT do-able?
Thanks

Not doable unless the blackberry software supports syncing a different
folder. You'd need to use a script to copy all the contacts from the public
folder to the default contacts folder.

I am hoping now the bosses believe me.
