Default Setting up Exchange on a Q5

Please Login to Remove!

Had real fun and games connecting a Q5 to exchange. All the help I have found says follow the instructions and it will work. What they fail to mention is that the username cannot be entered if it has a space in the name, the setup was insisting on a dot or at (Can't use the proper symbol forum won't let me which strangely is similar to the problems on the handsets.) symbol between the first and last name. I'm not a Blackberry fan and could not find away around it, so I type the name I wanted as Firstname Lastname with a space in the description field of the setup, I then copied and pasted that text into the username field, changed the description field to something more meaningful and the setup went through and configured correctly. The username format is as required by the windows login on a client PC so it cannot be changed easily for every user. Why do the likes of Blackberry insist on controlling what is inputted into setup options to such an extent it actually stops the setup. Never had a problem on the curves we were replacing.
