1.       Never run BPS..so can't speak first hand.  Google turned this up 
though.

2.       Yep, doing it for awhile with our UM system.  Works fine as long as 
you have upgraded OS's which any handheld in the 8000 series and up can do.

Thanks,

Subject: Blackberry BES vs. BPS

I'm running a small BES 4.0 server with 10 clients and Exchange 2007.  Would 
like to be able to listen to WAV files (from internal voicemail) and am told 
that BES 5.0 will do it and the upgrade cost is $999.  Sales person told me I 
could also switch to BPS (and use the same client l licenses) without any cost.

Questions for you Exchange/Blackberry experts:

1.  How do you feel BPS compares to BES?  Is it comparable to BES 5 features?  
Sales person did not have any kind of document to compare features.

2.  Anyone with experience listening to WAV files on handheld?

I'm not concerned about growing over the 30 user limit on BPS.

Any comments are much appreciated.

Tom
