Anyone going to the 1 day conference in Chicago on the 7th\8th of September?

we use windows messager at our office but it is for interoffice use only, is there any chance that a windows messager service for the blackberry that would be able to work with this service. I am using a 7520 with a BES V4.0

If you see the post above by corey it is listed as a feature of 4.1.

BES 4.1 - Supporting Notes 7?
 

I hope Notes 7 is supported with version 4.1!

They've added a lot of that content, if not all of it, to the Resource Center, which is available for the public.

That is why I was asking, I see that it is going to be available, but what I was asking is if you would be able to use it on a private internal network. the windows messager service at my company does not allow you to talk to someone outside of the company. I wanted to know if I would be able to communicate with people within my company from my blackberry.

i'm guessing this is more for Exchange 2000 users, since it has the built-in messenger functionality that was removed with Exchange 2003. that is, unless you are able to enable Windows Messenger for corporate-only, which i'm sure can be done, although we don't have an enterprise IM client here sans Office Communicator (which hasn't been deployed widespread here yet).

and speaking of, they are also enabling Office Communicator for BlackBerry at some point later this year, from what i've read/heard. a beta is still not out for it, though, but when it is, i will post up some screenshots of it in action.

:-)

Probably wont see BES until end of the year.. and some cell providers wont put out the handheld upgrades until late first quarter... but there are some really cool new features. One of the biggest features in my mind is the role-based administration! Built-in corporate messaging is obviously another big one.

Phase 1 beta kicks off next week...I'm excited to see how these new features pan out!

Yeah, well be there on the 7th. I hope it's worth it..

I listened to a recap of the Webcast. Anyone know anything more about the "Pin2PIN and SMS message Audit logs"? Is the BES actually going to start archiving these messages so we'll no longer need a third party vendor to do that or am I misunderstanding?

Thats the way i understand it. I don't know for sure, but i bet it will function like the BlackBerry Messenger Auditing added in 4.0.2 where each handheld automatically sends a report via email to a designated mailbox every X hours.

What third party vendor do you use to capture PIN and SMS. We disable outbound PIN and SMS on our BBs but inbound PIN and SMS can not be blocked on the BBs. We have been evaluating vendors to determine who is the best with capturing this inbound information.
