- wow wow wow..... why would you possibly want this? why do you gave a windows mobile device and NEED a BB? all the WM apps are way better anyway.

- one thing particularely comes to mind...their calendar and address book functions that collectively share from a server. If you're working at a large business that is actually using that, then it's a great tool.

any huge company should be using exchange server anyway. even without a blackberry enterprise server you can sync all your contacts, tasks, colander items, and notes with a BB device. then, if you add a BES you simply tie that in for email push so you dont rely on RIMS (lacking) wireless email support.
The Waterloo, Ontario-based company will make the software available on devices offered by a number of telecom companies later this year, likely in the fall. "We're working very closely with AT&T, as an example," RIM co-Chief Executive Jim Balsillie said in an interview. "There'll be other carriers that are highly supportive of this."
