anybody know what the difference between this new program and Blackberry Connect is? hopefully this is the solution i'm looking for as my carrier (Rogers) doesn't support BBC and therefore I can't use it at work :mad:

The Register had a story today about this and it was specifically named as Blackberry Connect.. it sounds like its just what everyone here already has to me but maybe an updated version for WM6

Yes but not much use in that if they can't even manage to keep their data centers up and running :D

I agree completely. RIM may still be growing, but as WM6 rolls out on new devices, and Exchange 2007 grabs a foothold, savvy CIO's will be hard pressed to justify spending the extra bucks on RIM software, maintenance and "support". Hell, it took them three days to admit that they had made a change that brought down the house. Rediculous!
