Exchange ActiveSync for a BlackBerry Smartphone device.

I work for a LARGE software company in Redmond, WA that is not terribly BlackBerry friendly.  I would like to purchase a Pearl 8120 and have it sync with my work email (Exchange server).

 

Is there a way to configure a BlackBerry device to use Exchange ActiveSync so I can use it for corporate email?

 

The only support doc I can find that mentions EAS is as follows (near the bottom of the doc)

http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB04156&sliceId=SAL_Pub...

It discusses a conflict with using a BES wireless signal (which I don't want) and an EAS signal (which I do want).

 

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Re: Exchange ActiveSync for a BlackBerry Smartphone device.

Hi,

 

There is now a solution that will let you ActiveSync your Blackberry against your exchange server. It is called NotifySync. You can find more about it by looking at http://www.NotifySync.co.uk/ The best thing of all is that you dont need a BES server or a BES data plan so this can work out much more cost effective than the traditional BES based solution and you keep all your important features.

 

Best Wishes


Jamie

Re: Exchange ActiveSync for a BlackBerry Smartphone device.

What is the cost for NotifySync - they let you download a free triel but nowhere on the sitte do they have a price? I don't want to have to give them all of my information to download a free trial only to find out later that it's really expensive.

Re: Exchange ActiveSync for a BlackBerry Smartphone device.

Why does it have to wipe out your calendar and contacts to install?
