Here's what I know about blackberry & linux: 1. There are 2 components to the blackberry solution - the server (that polls your mail server for new mail) and the handset. 2. The handset is on closed source proprietery OS. I don't know of any plans to move to linux. 3. The blackberry server is hosted on a windows server machine 4. I know currently the blackberry server can integrate with outlook and lotus notes email servers to poll and transmit email to your handset (also reverse traffic for sync) 5. I believe there is a roadmap in place for integration with open source mail servers too like postfix/sendmail though I don't think it is currently supported. Now, comparison between Trio and BB: 1. Try google.com 2. The basic solution features of BB are push mail and security, since they are pushing this mail post encryption. 3. You can compare this with the basic solution features for Trio and see how it goes, from what I remember, Trio is just a simple SMTP/POP2/IMAP pull based solution.
