Good info. We just opened a Verizon acct and I'm glad to hear that.

Right, most other carriers offer different Blackberry data plans. I.e. BIS or BES, and sometimes just Inet browsing. Verizon is one of the few that is all or nothing.

Not Verizon, just need a data plan. _____ From: Andy Shook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 10:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Blackberry Demo? Also, keep in mind that your carrier has to activate the BB unit your using for enterprise data services, i.e. so it can talk to a BES server. Ran into this with AT&T and Suncom last week. Lastly, fwiw, I'm running a BES on a dedicated VM with 256MB of RAM for 10 users and it runs like a champ.

Yep, they've rebranded it(finally). http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/server/offers/professional_express.jsp It's free for a single user, then you have to buy additional CAL's. You'd have to supply your own BB, however, if you have an existing relationship with a carrier you should be able to get one for demo for 30-60 days. Let me know if you need help getting it up and going. From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 8:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Blackberry Demo? That sounds doable... I'm looking on the site: is the official name "BlackBerryR Professional Software Express"? So, does this come free with a BB device, or do I have to buy this? Or is there a 30 day trial? (Which would be fine)... Thanks.

What's the best way to demo blackberry services/devices without a full blown server rollout? It would be for one user.
