Has anybody ran across any independent studies between Exchange 2007 Activesync and Blackberry? All the reports I keep coming across are either from Microsoft, or RIM, and are SLIGHTLY biased.
We currently do have a Blackberry server, but the Exchange Admin is NOT the Blackberry Admin (silly, I know). So, I'm looking to either... 1. Take over Blackberry. Or 2. Implement Exchange 2007 Activesync and push Blackberry over a cliff. However, since I've never used either, I'm not sure what the better option is? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wallace chee lam Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 12:54 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Blackberry with Exchange You can use BB without BES but there will be no synchronization of mailbox folders like calendar, emails. You do this by using carriers BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) and configure your exchange to forward all your corporate email to this BIS account. This will be a mess and nightmare to support. Like I mentioned before you can try before you buy with express edition and have another user with smartphone like Aaron suggested. Compare them and decide later.
