"There is a look up feature in Blackberry that more than accomplishes this task of looking for a user. Of course, if you email a user, it keeps that in "memory" similar to the outlook nickname file....."
^^ Not on my Blackberry Bold it sure doesn't, i wish it did. Sure, Blackberry is enterprise level and is "meant" to handle orgs with over hundreds of thousands of users, I get it. But as I alluded to before, it would be nice if RIM left the option for admins to either publish the GAL or not -- especially for us smaller to medium-size orgs who manage hundreds or even thousands of users.
