the newer blackberrys are realy starting to impress me. At work we have been getting them in at a steady pace for our employees. The newer ones are alot sleeker and the ball makes a much better phone then the scroll wheel. ---

if we had a blackberry server i’d be all about them, but alas we don’t so windows mobile it is. All though exchange 2007/WM6 is a pretty stellar competitor for BES. Full remote control of phones, can wipe them etc - full sync of everything. I think that the blackberry OS itself is faster, but its windows, what do you expect. All in all i have a feeling windows mobile will eventually win due to the fact that so many businesses already have the capacity needed to host mobile phone usage. ---

WinMo has to be more stable for that to happen. Right now the Blackberry OS is probably the most stable out there, even more so that Nokia’s S60. ---

And to the guy that said WinMo is great because of the remote server capabilities, BES has had those same functionalities for years, and it runs 10x smoother. WinMo just got those abilities with WM6. ---
