As a matter of fact the IT hacks here do suck, yet my exchange server is almost never down, but to get some perspective with how BlackBerry vs Windows Mobile works:<br><br>BB Phone  BB Enterprise Server  Exchange Server<br><br>                        VERSUS<br><br>WinMo Phone  Exchange Server<br><br>Now call me crazy but I like the second option a lot better, since not having middleware means most likely less problems. But hey, maybe you like paying RIM to access your Lotus, Exchange, or GroupWise mail.<br><br>Plus, if I REALLY had to access crap middleware I would just install BlackBerry Connect on my Tilt, which I don't think anyone sane who has used it is going to say that ANY Blackberry device even comes close.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 21st 2008 10:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BlackBerrys going down tomorrow -- on purpose this time]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[as a blackberry customer with t-mobile i'm glad that i read engadget because this is the only way i knew this might happen.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Henry Mensch]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 21st 2008 7:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BlackBerrys going down tomorrow -- on purpose this time]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was thinking the same thing...<br><br>So when was RIM or T-Mobile going to say something about this outage?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tib02]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 21st 2008 10:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BlackBerrys going down tomorrow -- on purpose this time]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[ugggh it wouldnt let me put arrows, but the diagram should have looked like <br><br>BB Phone....BB Enterprise Server....Exchange Server<br><br>                    Versus<br><br>WinMo Phone.........................Exchange Server]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 21st 2008 10:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BlackBerrys going down tomorrow -- on purpose this time]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't exactly know too much about blackberries but I hear alot of junk about them on the news. I have a samsung blackjack II and overall the phone is decent. the battery life is alot better but overall it's the same ole same ole. the processor to me is still kind of slow and mediocre, about the same speed as my 4 year old motorola mpx-200 only the blackjack has a bigger screen and can do more. The only real thing I meant to say is that I have never experienced an outage of any type using windows mobile 5 or 6, now. I couldn't imagine paying for a service for email and such when I can easily get it for free without any outages involved. Kind of an easy question to answer when considering a blackberry compared to most of the better WinMo devices out here. I dunno, I was bored and was reading this blog and figured since I'm poor I'll just add one cent to the log..........lol. happy easter folks !!! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Busta Smith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 22nd 2008 3:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BlackBerrys going down tomorrow -- on purpose this time]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/blackberrys-going-down-tomorrow-on-purpose-this-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[So, are they adding India to the governmental back-door access during this outage?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mschaffer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 25th 2008 4:35PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
