Windows Phone:

Google also supports Google Sync for Windows phones.  Click here for instructions.

Blackberry:

BlackBerry 10 devices (Z10, Q10) can also be set up with Google Sync.  Instructions are available at the BlackBerry site using the settings shown at the top of this page.

For BlackBerry 6 and 7 devices (most newer Bold, Torch, and Curve devices), you configure your device to use the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS).  Your BlackBerry will recognize the Gmail server and allow for calendar, contact, and email synchronization.  Please note you cannot have two accounts on your device with the same email address so you'll have to remove whatever email support you have on the BlackBerry now and replace it with the BIS connection.
