Hi Everyone!

I have an HTC s630 and currently use Rogers, currently use activesync exchange push email/contacs/calendar.

If I install Blackberry Connect and set my phone to work with my work's BES server and Lotus Notes 6, can both of these work on the same device on the current data plan I have?

Or do I have to change my data plan? Or is there such thing as a hybrid data plan that will work for windows and blacberry?

Thx for your help, most of the forums have one or the other and was wondering if I can run both?

Someone more familiar with the Rogers plan might have better info, but I would think you would need to be provisioned for both. This *may* mean you would have two data plans. I am not sure if the BB plan includes access for push based email other than the BlackBerry connect.

Once you install Blackberry Connect, you are forced to disconnect the Activesync for the same component (e.g. you can't activesync both sets of e-mail).

The Blackberry Connection is a separate connection from your regular connection and on the HTC devices that I've played with you could not have both simultaneously active. For example, on my wife's TyTN II she has to manually hold the hangup button for five seconds to break the Blackberry Connection before she can establish a standard data connection. This is very frustrating since the only way we can get her Sametime connection to work is on the non-Blackberry side of the data connection.

On ATT and on US Tmobile, you can access regular data on a Blackberry plan, but as noted above you cannot have both active at once. What I did on my wife's account was to setup a BIS account and pull e-mail from our personal exchange server via IMAP. It was the best I could do.

The only device I've seen that can handle both BES and Activesync is the Nokia E61 and E61i. Roadsync and BES can coexist.
