Along these lines, can they assist with the exorbitant cost of a Trade-Up key for BPS to BES?  I mean, I've only got 17 BB users now and will NEVER be able to justify the cost of Trade-Up, just to get rid of the last couple Exchange 2007 boxes.  The lowest I've found the key for is about $2500-2600.

What email issues are you having with your BB? Things not syncing up?  What provider are you using?

If you are using Verizon, you may want to contact Telecom Systems -- we have contacts there who may be able to help offset the cost of a BES server.

Subject: [MSUNAG] BES inquiry...

Ok.  So... I'm new to this trend called a BlackBerry.  (It will NEVER replace the iPhone, but for work, I just couldn't justify a second iPhone to keep work and personal phones separate...)

In every way it is great for what I need, except for the main reason I got it.. It's email functionality is SO far under the bar, it's almost unusable without the BES.

As I have a few BB users here, I'm going to be getting the BES, which i understand will solve all of my email woes...  However, I haven't had a chance to read up much on it.  I was wondering about others using it out there... do you run it on it's own dedicated server?  or do you run it right on the exchange server?  I will have no more than 5 users using it.

Is there any advice that you all might have on it, regarding the setup or general maintenance, that might be useful to a newbie?

Thanks!
