I got it working as intended, though I will be returning the 6822 due to limitations built in to (or, more accurately, omitted from) the BB client. The most glaring: the Nokia BB client is incapable of wirelessly reconciling e-mail on a BES. It sends and receives fine (i.e. sent and received e-mail appear in the correct folders on the exchange server/outlook client), but email read and deleted on the handheld will not delete on the exchange server. Without the ability to enable wireless reconciliation on the handheld (which the archaic client in the 6822 lacks) there is no way to set up that feature. None. This was confirmed to me by both Nokia and RIM tech support, as well as my BES admin.
As someone who gets 100 or so emails a day, a lack of true email reconciliation became a deal breaker, despite the terrific form factor. Anyone who gets more than 100 messages (and many, many people do) will have a problem with this.
I also missed the wireless syncing of the address book and calendar, though these were not as big a problem.
In then end, I am going back to my 7100g, despite its flaws.
