It is not necessarily that they drop support for SIF but sometimes its  
simply the lack of quality at least for the Outlook client (don't know  
about Blackberry). One example is http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8474.

Try with some nearly empty database first and find out if it is maybe  
some reccuring event or some special chars which get the client  
crashing.
