I looked this up. A bit of overkill, especially the yet to be proven useful antivirus. However, in the process, I found lots of apps of this type. I guess you could put together a suite that does a lot of useful security things. However, I am not seeing a comprehensive maintenance solution. I

Aside from book marks - Everything would have come back to an Android given the same scenario. Except she could have done the activation herself and wouldn't have needed you to reset an activation password. -Original Message- From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com

Curious, has anyone looked into not using the default built-in email client on Android devices. Personally I've never liked it, it's buggy, inconsistent and pretty much crap. I've seen new versions floating around but seems device vendors are either replacing it or fixing it up themselves. I

The factory support for exchange is getting better on Android phones (as has been the case with the iPhone as well). HTC devices that run sense have better exchange functionality. Some of the things that are missing from the stock Exchange-Android support is the abbility to add a signature to

OS6 is more than just a makeover for the device. It brings together several elements that are most liked about the iPhone and droid. The universal search (android does extremely well) and the type of icons and navigation of the iPhone (pages of icons, etc). It also layers this over the existing

Because of the culture of my company, I am probably less security conscious than most on this list, however, I really don't like the idea of all of that personal info on an unknown server, especially when the BES alternative is to store it on our own servers. I have a personal gmail account, so

A lot of people like k9mail. I tried it, but prefer the HTC client that came with my Evo for exchange, and the gmail client for my personal accounts. A lot of this discussion has centered on remote wipe, but I want to reiterate that centralized management is my concern. I have a small

From the When bad things are really good Dept.: I have an HTC Evo 4G as my personal phone. It has a fast processor, CMDA, WiFi, WiMax, a good GPS, and an FM tuner. Performance is great. With all radios on, the battery lasts 12 hours on standby. I have a BB Curve 8330. It has a very weak GPS

Novell had a similar fall...once they were the best network OS out there. Others came in with prettier interfaces that wow'd management and now many network admins wouldn't know where to start in a Novell environment. :( The youtube clips of the BB OS 6 look good. Although at first I didn't

BB6 looks good, but it seems like only a very few current models will support it. Last rumor was Verizon gave up on it running on Storm2. 256 meg memory not enough. - Original Message - From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com To: A list for BES
