Andy,
Exchange SP2 provides push email support for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices that
have the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP). This would be
functionally similar to having Blackberry support, but it's not the same
thing since you also have all the functionality of Windows Mobile devices.
If you want a device similar in form factor to Blackberries, you might
consider the Palm Treo700w, which is only available from Verizon in the US
at the moment. My favorite GSM device is the i-Mate K-Jam, and i-Mate has
already made the MSFP upgrade available on their website. The K-Jam is also
more ergonomic for composing email in my opinion, but the Treo700w is also a
nice device. Sprint also has a nice Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC phone
available that some of my employees use and like. I think it's the Sprint
6700.
If you're set on supporting actual Blackberry devices, I believe that
requires a different (and dedicated) server, but I don't have any experience
with that. You should probably contact RIM for details.

Im looking to add some mobile devices. I know the Exchange SP2 was
supposed
to add improved functionality and blackberry support. I know windows
mobile
devices work perfectly with Exchange, but how are Blackberries doing now?
If i read an email on a BB will it mark it read? How bout if i delete it
on
the BB will it also delete it on the exchange server?
how bout any other pros and cons to either. Any recomendations on hardware
(for BB or WM). Perhaps a recomendation for an easy to use device for
those
technology challenged people that i'd like to provide this resource for.
Also an "advanced" device that would satisify my need for the "best"
device i
could get.
Thanks!
