If you want wireless e-mail for your users, Blackberry is the be-all,
end-all. Nothing else comes close, sorry.

BES (Blackberry Enteprise Server) 4.0 supports wireless *everything* -
contacts, calendar, etc - as long as the handheld is running firmware 4.x -
check with whomever you plan to buy them from. Verizon is slacking big-time
on releasing this, note. BES comes in a 5-user small-biz version, list price
about $1500 - less from other vendors. It is absolutely worth getting if you
have Blackberry users - the desktop redirector, web client, are nowhere near
as robust or easy to troubleshoot.

Good Technologies has their own 'push mail' server...works with Treos as
well as RIM handhelds.

If you've ever used Activestink before, you may share my opinions of
PocketPC. However, I have heard things have improved.....still, for mail,
it's Blackberry or nothin'.
