To be honest, I got the Tilt because I wanted BB connectivity in Japan. When the 9xxx comes out, I'll probably get that.
Hmmm, sounds promising from a policy perspective. Like every organization, ours suffers from portable device proliferation, and many people don't want BB devices (but of course still want corporate mail), so if BB Connect allowed them to use the device of their choice while still giving IT some policy control, that might be a good compromise.

I heard that they were looking into Good Tech's products because of the lack of device lock-in, sounds like BB Connect offers the same kind of flexibility. I'll pass it on.

There's no Blackberries in Japan? Why would you need a Tilt?
