Arif,

We used the Blackberry Enterprise Server. It sits on top of the Exchange Server, as I understand it. The categories issue is really an Entourage issue. Hopefully, the next version of Entourage will work better with Outlook and Exchange.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike, which application do (rather did) you use in your Mac to sync your blackberry via the Blackberry Exchange Server? Was it Entourage?
Somehow, I never could get Entourage to sync perfectly and always had issues, especially with categories. Hence I’m forced to sync my Blackberry to Microsoft Outlook running on Windows with the help of Parallels (http://paralles.com).

Mike I’d be super grateful for any guidance you can give.

Thanks for the great blog!

Ps. Would’ve switched to the iphone, but I think I’m in for a pretty long wait till it’s launched in India.

An entertaining post, though it will be some time before I or my wife can afford an iPhone.

Mike

good post as always. At one point in time we will look back in time and ask ourselves “why did we refuse to use well designed good looking products?” Instead we will we will ask “how on earth could I buy such a miserable product and use it for years?”

Could you elaborate on how you managed the part “The iPhone will work in a corporate environment with an Exchange Server.” ? My IT guys tell me it won’t work.

CNN had an interview with a 17 year old this morning whose personal summer project was to break down the i-Phone to make it compatible with his service.

I was just at the Apple store yesterday – I too innocently picked up the phone and – bang! – it is sooooo beyond anything I have ever seen or held. My brand new BB is awful!

How can every manufacturer let Apple continually out-design them on product after product? (Silly question – how can Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan be so dominating? TALENT FOCUS WORK ETHIC!)

I also broke down and finally bought my first Mac today – your “techno-hypocrite” logic was all I needed.

Thanks for the post

Regarding the Keynote vs. PowerPoint post…

Stick with PowerPoint…ESPECIALLY, if you already have Office 2007. There is just no comparison of features between the two that justify Keynote.

On the other hand, Keynote isn’t that expensive and has some cool backgrounds. If you have Office XP, Keynote transition would be alright. Also, keep in mind “cool” backgrounds can be found with a little research.Hope that helps.

Oh, I’m a huge Apple fan but $500 to $600 + expensive rate plans + slow data speeds (vs. Verizon or Sprint)??? for something that just looks cool! That kind of patience or [fill in your own word] must be nice!? I’ll stick with my Treo 700w with much more capability, easier texting, faster data speeds, and list goes on…Did I mention I have 3 children? Wow daddy, cool toy!
