First question... I'm considering going with Rogers so that I don't need to aquire 3rd party MDS hosting for ip apps such as IM+. If my corporate BES server has MDS disabled (or does in the future), will this render native IP support (such as the Rogers 7290) useless ?

Second - Does the integration with a BES remove one's ability to use their private email address ? IE: Can I still send emails from my private BB email account (I'm assuming I get this when I activate a unit) even though I'm synced with my mailserver at work (BES 3.6 or 3.8 I believe).

Thanks in advance,
Rhino.
