While sure to generate some controversy, this is what I believe to be the case. My personal opinion is that the current implementation of Direct Push overall is better than RIM’s Blackberry device where it comes to push mail access on Microsoft Exchange. In fact, I consider Direct Push to be superior to any of the other offerings on the market when it comes to using Exchange as a backend mail server."</i><br /><br />If you are interested in some of the differences between Direct Push and the Blackberry thing, whatever it is called, give this a read. It also talks about costs of implementation etc. I have gone from not caring about Direct Push, to loving it. :)

It may be better than Blackberry for some people. Unfortunately, we are Smart Card only here and I don't even know my password :D Kinda hard to set up Exchange Active Sync without that.

I just love the fact that the email comes thru faster on my device and then slowly shows up on my desktop Outlook.

Yeah me too. I have voice announcement on all three phones that says "You have email", they all go off in succession, then a bit later it shows up on my desktop. :lol:
