Al,
Most likely their cellular provider offers a “BIS” service (Blackberry Internet Service). This is essentially a BES in the cloud, and is offered for the same charge as the BES connectivity. When they get their login to the BIS, they would make a connection to your OWA/ActiveSync service and it would be seemless, just like any other device.
The only issue people report on certain providers (Verizon), is that calendars don’t sync properly – that may need to be done manually via a desktop hot-sync every so often.
I would avoid steering the end user to 3rd party apps like NotifySync and AstraSync. They are horrible and often break the device and its functionality.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Getting a Blackberry to talk to Exchange 2010?
I have one user who has a Blackberry Torch. The phone is apparently running version 6 of the OS. What are my options for getting this to sync with our Exchange server? For one user, I don’t see the point of messing with something like BES, but I’m not finding any other way to do this that I really like. Seems like this should be easier.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Al
