Hello there.
I have a regular BB device from my Company (BES service).
I am willing to shift to a Non-RIM device and have read lots of documents here.

I read this (from BB Connect Desktop help file): "If you do not have access to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 4.0 or later, use the BlackBerry Connect Desktop for Windows Mobile to integrate your Smartphone with your work email account."

I don't want to get in touch with my Company's IT manager therefore I personally "do not have access to BES". It seems to me that I could use BB Connect Desktop to "integrate" my smartphone with my email account.

My understanding is that through BBCD I can right avoiding my smartphone activation into BES server, correct ?


I have some questions:

1) upon "integration" of my smartphone, would the regular BB device work any longer ? would both be working ?
2) how generally does it work BBCD ? it is not very clear to me.
3) supposing I won't like BBC on my smartphone: on returning to my regular BB device, could I avoid calling my IT manager for assistance ? I must avoid being in the need of him.

Thanks !
Paolo

You really need to talk to your BES Admin and IT Department, especially if you value your job. Trying to circumvent company policies (and security) is cause for termination in many companies.
