A bit of an update, having used the QTek 9100 for a bit longer ...
I found out how to enable vibrate for new email messages - it is (sensibly enough) under Sounds & Notifications.
On the issue of what is required for DirectPush ... you definitely need GPRS. If you turn off the mobile phone part, ActiveSync says that the current schedule requires a cellular connection. That said, I'm still not convinced that it continues to use GPRS for the actual data transfer. I still think it uses GPRS for the HTTPS connection and then the active Internet connection for the normal ActiveSync transfer.
If I'm wrong, it is because Microsoft don't get the icons right at the top of the display :-). With Wi-Fi turned on, the AS arrows are definitely on that icon, even with GPRS live & happy.
I can, though, envisage some problems with staff who have been used to using BBs until now. I don't, for example, like the fact that the device occasionally pops up a notification window saying that it is connecting to GPRS. I think it ought to do this in the background, silently. Blackberrys seem to.
Also, I've had a pop-up saying that it can't get an IP address (or something like that). I assume that is when I've driven home and, when I've got home, the phone has lost the mobile signal and is complaining. Again, Blackberrys seem to just handle this quietly.
