We have both blackberry and active synch users here. We deployed a BES server for the blackberry users and never have had a problem with it. The active synch seems to be somewhat quirky and there are various hot fixes out there for that service. I believe he can load the desktop synch on his workstation and synch up using the cradle as well.
A number of our users opted for the I-Mate K-Jam and active synch. Somewhat pricy but a good product. We haven't had any problems with it.

I've had the 8125 for quite some time now, and it's a great phone. Most pda phones are pretty similar, if they're using 5.0.. However, it's the little things that set this one apart.. Like it doesn't crash very often (Mabye 3 times in the past year).. And it's got a great sliding keyboard.. The only difference between the 8525 and the 8125 is a little bit of processor speed. If he's not going to try and run something like Skype on the phone, he can save some dough with the 8125. <sigh>Finally, I got to add something to the group, besides a question.</sigh> Thanks David -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Dandy Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 12:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Mobile access to Exchange His provider is Cingular. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Wessell > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 2:52 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Mobile access to Exchange > > What cell phone provider are you with?? > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Jim Dandy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Exchange Discussions" <[email protected]> > Sent: 3/27/07 5:35 PM > Subject: Mobile access to Exchange > > I've got a guy who wants one of those PDA/Cell Phone things to connect > to Exchange 2003.
