I don't want her PIN. I want her to pin me.

How pathetic.

SMS is not the same as BBM.

BBM gives you delivery/receipt notifications. You can use BBM internationally without extra (international) costs. You don't have to have an additional plan, it's included with your data plan, unlike having to add an additional texting plan.

This further shows your ignorance.

You realize BES is NOT Microsoft, right?

I am a BES administrator in a Novell environment, using GroupWise. Nothing Microsoft, no Active Directory.

You really need to educate yourself before you make posts like this. It makes you look extremely idiotic (especially for a self-proclaimed technophile).

Also, that link has nothing to do with BES. Not a single thing. So again, I will raise the question. How is BES prehistoric?

I think this in fact is much of the problem. He believes he is in the Top 10% in knowledge of these matters. He might in fact be closer to the bottom 10% (although I suspect bottom 35% personally). He will have problems with his droid as well.

I call BS.

the phone can only sync with google.

the sad part is every phone on the market can sync with google. 99% of out of the box too.

iphone syncs with google. windows mobile syncs with google, and blackberry's sync with google.

Get calendar alerts. Using your BlackBerry® smartphone's native calendar, you can now access your Google calendar even when you don't have network coverage, and be alerted for upcoming appointments with sound or vibration. It automatically runs in the background, so you can attend to other tasks and still be reminded of your appointments.

Always in sync. Your calendar stays synchronized whether you access it from your computer or your phone. You can add or edit entries right on your BlackBerry® smartphone or on your Google Calendar on the web. Synchronize one or many calendars at the same time.

Synchronize your contacts. Get your Gmail contacts quickly and easily to your BlackBerry smartphone. With Sync, you can have access to your address book at any time and place that you need it.

you are really ignorant.

Please. This is the clunkiest crap I've ever seen. I tried it and after almost killing myself I gave up.

BES is crap -- a clumsy, high-maintenance, high cost product to sync mobile and desktop PIM data right? Without getting crazy about it -- that's basically it right?

I'm sorry jsconyers now I understand why you are so pissed off. Google cloudware basically makes your job obsolete. Modern day Luddites the lot of you! If it's any consolation you are not alone -- technological advancements always displace people and render entire industries irrelevant. Your resistance is expected, predictable even.

further proof that you're very far from tech savvy, or even know what you're doing.

unlike google.com computers are not for everyone, nor are mobile devices, or cars for that fact.

tho most people can attain any of the above this does not merit they are tech savvy, know how to drive, or are signs of intelligence. its not a merit badge you show you know what you're talking about.

How is BES crap? First, you admittedly said you don't know what it is and you further proved that by posting an irrelevant link. You cannot say it is clumsy, high maintenance, or anything seeing as you have NEVER used it. You know absolutely NOTHING about it.

Please provide personal experience telling me how it is clunky and high maintenance. Until then, please do not speak upon things you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about!

For about the 32nd time in this thread, you are WRONG. I am not pissed off. I have no reason to be. I deal with people that don't know what they're talking about and act like they do on a daily basis. I'm quite used to it. If you knew anything about working in the I.T field (which it's pretty evident that you do not) then you would know that you grow with the field. Again, I am not concerned with Google. My line of work is within the Government, I highly doubt they would ever trust Google with their data. I am not saying the Cloud is not the future, however, I am saying that it has a ways to go.

For you, it works. For everyone else, it may not. You do realize that not everyone sees things as you do, right?

Hahaha. Who knows, it was a bad call. He made a bad decision. Much like Apache's decision to purchase a BlackBerry.

[jsconyers]

Apache,

Let me attempt to inform/educate you on what a BES can do.

I can lookup any email address for anyone within our global address book. I don't need to have their address stored on my device. I can access intranet sites, internal sites from my device. I can delete email from my device and keep them on my mail client. Then I can search for the email from the device and see it. I don't need to store it on my device. I can keep my device much more clean and organized this way.

I can search other user's calenders when scheduling appointments to see if their free at that time. Yes, I can do a busy search for other users from MY BlackBerry. I can see and store email in other folders and have them synchronize back to the mailbox and vice versa. Can Google do all of this?

That's all without going into security, I am not even going to touch that, because there's nothing out there that compares in that category. So keep trying....

Aww fanks mate, but anyone who resorts to name calling as a means of defense doesn't get my vote. so as *tempting* as the offer sounds of pulling your oh so *sexy* mullet, i'l give it a miss.

To that..



Not that I need to defend the BES.. but it has to be by far the least high maintenanced server in my environment. It just sits their a runs the only time I mess with it when I have to add a user/change device.

I guess it all depends on if it was setup correctly or not.
