The company I work for have decided that it would be beneficial for us to have access to our emails on the move (finally).

We run SBS2003 with exchange in the office, what solutions does anybody else use? Looking for the full solution including new handsets, so Blackberry, HTC with WM6 or similar?

Cheers

Depending on the specific infrastructure its probably cheaper to go WM and exchange activesync.

Not sure on the licensing though, weather a exchange lic for front end server is required..

In our enviroment we have a front-end server hosting OWA and for Activesync and remote access is published through to an ISA server in the DMZ.

Thanks for your reply, does this actually give you push email to the device or do you have to navigate to your outlook web access to check for new mail?

Yes, you get push email from exchange, and oddly enough the email usually appears on the PDA before it gets to outlook.

You will need a good data plan and preferably 3g access.

We use HTC WM devices and configure activesync to work over a 3G/GPRS connection. You may need a frontend server, however if you are already using OWA externally from the office you already have everything you need.

Cool, so get the device tweak some settings in exchange and jobs a good un?? Been looking at these HTC devices:

::: HTC ::: Smart Mobility :::

Need one with WiFi as we also going to be using them as softphones connected to our telephone system.

dont go anywhere near blackberry

WM is the way forwards.

Activesync is the way forwards....

Although i have a feeling that Apple might singlehandedly destroy WM when they bring out iphone firmware v2 with activesync built in
