BPS is history. Blackberry announced they were writing it off some time back. So if you dig into it, you may find yourself heading down a dark road.

We got BPS for free, but the Verizon rep who got us the deal told us (or strongly implied - I wasn't part of the acquisition team) that we were getting BES. That makes me more than a little cranky. I don't know if that was slipperiness on the part of the individual rep, or if that is a Verizon thing. Regardless, it kinda sucked. Be careful when talking with your provider to specify exactly what you're getting. If you search the BB web site, you'll find a comparison between the two in chart form. It's useful. If it were me, I'd go with BES over BPS. Kurt On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 01:47, Liby Philip Mathew <lmat...@path-solutions.com> wrote: > HI, > > Kindly excuse my ignorance with BB.
