Blackberry's and Exchange Push Email

snagrat · 24 Nov 2009 at 10:41

Do Blackberry phones support push email from Exchange servers out of the box?

I can't find anything on the net that say they do, everything seems to talk about a BES or BIS servers?

Got a client who is thinking about getting one and need to confirm before they buy.

Thanks

Some do. Some need to have the BES component installed on the Exchange server.

Any idea what I should be looking for in the specs to make sure they work directly with Exchange? Do Blackberrys call it ActivSync as well?

Thanks

Have a look at that site, says you can set up a blackberry without exchange.

Plenty of info around the internet...failing that pop over to www.crackberry.com and ask in the forums there...pretty sure someone will be able to tell you if its possible or not.

Most of the newer ones can just pull from OWA I believe...
