Blackberry?

Subject: Blackberry?

Feedback Type: Question

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Functionality

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.3

Reproducible: Unknown

So we currently have Lotus Traveler running very nicely. But now the company I work for is now thinking about getting Blackberry's...yuck! I understand we need Blackberry Enterprise Server (I will say BES from now on) I have a few questions and would be very grateful on some feedback.

1) What are your thoughts on BES? Does it work well? Does it correctly sync mail, calendar, contacts etc...?

2) Do Blackberry users authenticate with their HTTP Notes Internet password? (Our users Windows password syncs with their Notes ID and HTTP password) I don't want them to have two sets of passwords.

3) Can BES be installed on our mail/home server or does it require its own dedicated Domino Server?

4) Does the BES license need to be renewed every year? Or once we buy it its ours for ever?

5) Anything else I should know?

Thanks
