Does anyone knows if BlackBerry Connect can be use on Treo 750?
My Treo 750 going with Windows Mobile 6.0

I'm with you on that. I've got a Treo Pro and would really like to know if there's any type of Blackberry Connect software built specifically for Palm's Windows Mobile Devices.
Here's some things I've been looking into as an alternative:
1.) Lotus Notes Traveler: In Lotus / Domino 8.0.1 there's an application available for Windows Mobile Clients called, "Lotus Traveler"; the only catch is that your organization must be on the latest version (which in my case isn't the case), in addition to having the server software enabled.

2.) Common Time - mSuite software: IBM Lotus Notes delivered to Smartphones and PDAs; works with push e-mail, calendar synch, everything you'd want from Blackberry Connect (I believe). However, the only catch (from what I understand) is that you must have a machine (desktop, server, etc.) within the organization LAN running a small service that you will connect with from the outside which acts as a go-between (over HTTP) and does all the synching. This also requires that you will first setup your device to work with the software on your machine (key/pair matching creating trust between the computer and your PDA). This didn't sound practical to me either.
3.) Blackberry Emulators for Windows Mobile: a developer at work was discussing this and I'm not too sure if there is even anything out there like this--I'm guessing that's sort of what Blackberry Connect is--a small subsystem that emulates RIM.
Any other feedback I get I'll post. You're the only person I've found who's looking to do the same thing as me. Would love to hear about anything you've found, or dead-ends you've encountered.
Any hunches and/or leads anyone has on this would be fantastic. I'm trying not to believe that this may be a dead end but for now I'll try doing some more research and see what I can come up with.
Thanks,
Matt

Also looked into:
- Pylon Anywhere: Sybase synch solution--I believe you may have to have the device craddled to the computer in order to make this happen. I don't believe this offers push e-mail, although I may be wrong about that. http://www.sybase.com/products/allproductsa-z/pylon
- Intellisync (intellisync.com)
- Lotus EasySync Pro (http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/products/product4.nsf/wdocs/easysyncprohome).
- Odyssey Client 4.0 (found nothing compelling, not too sure what this does).
- PDASync: http://www.laplink.com/products/PDAsync/overview.asp
- XNotes: http://www.tntsoft.com/index.php?xnintro
- XTNDConnectPC: (non push e-mail) http://www.extendedsystems.com/web/content.aspx?key=87479B0C67EF93379DB1AD4D6FA06319

Apparently there is some truth to the Blackberry Emulator for Windows Mobile.

Palm Blackberry Connect (stuff about support on Treo 750, etc. right at the top)
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?searchString=Palm&cmd=search
Windows Mobile Blackberry Connect page (very vague info on this--looks like they leave it up to manuf's to support on a per device basis):

***Looks like good news for Palm Treo 750

That's all I got for now.
