Yes.

See the BlackBerry Desktop Software Online Help for more information about setting wireless calendar synchronization. You must be in a wireless coverage area and your BlackBerry device must be connected to the wireless network for PIM items to synchronize over the wireless network. See the printed documentation that accompanied your device for more information about wireless coverage levels.
