Does it Really Have BlackBerry e-mail support?
Verizon's site doesn't mention Blackberry email support, at least not prominently enough for me to locate it, and says nothing about a specific Blackberry-related service package. Finally, no users on the forums I ha...

Anybody know for sure if it can do that or not? 🙄

If it was supported I'd have one already... but I really don't wanna have to carry around this and a blackberry.
It DOES NOT handle email the way my blackberry used to.
I had to configure the pocket outlook to check my server(s) every (X) amount of minutes. If it finds an email the message is downloaded to the appropriate account.
The problem is the system actually connects to EVDO network every (X) amount of minutes to check for mail.
My experience has not been very good as I constantly check for mail manually and find it waiting on the server.
I also can't get a decent ringtone for the new message indicator.
As far as exchange Verizon has pre-installed a wireless synch software that will allow you to get your exchange email and pop email. But they are also delivered to your pocket outlook into account folders.

From the MS Website:
"Messaging & Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0
The Messaging & Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0 is designed specifically for businesses and corporate device users. Find out how Direct Push Technology can enhance Mobile Outlook, and how businesses can use the Feature Pack with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2 to protect mobile device data and provide more cost-effective mobile messaging solutions."
So I think the answer is it DOESN'T, but it WILL have push email technology. HOWEVER, not from a BES. from the Exchange Server 2003 SP2.
Windows Mobile Direct Push Technology. Outlook information, including e-mail, calendar, contacts and new support for Tasks, is pushed from a direct connection between Exchange Server and a Windows Mobile-based device, providing users with immediate access to Outlook information, without the need for an additional and costly server infrastructure required by other solutions on the market.
So it soundslike they are trying to claim that if you use their mobile 5.0 and Exchange 2003 SP2, then you won't have to spend the $$$ on a BES server.
You can enter your text messaging address, and the server will send an alert to your phone to tell you that you have new mail and to sync.
Works pretty well so far for me. The phone function isn't as good, but I needed access to my email on my corporate server, and this seemed to be the best way to do it without buying a BlackBerry server.
