I'm going to be getting a new PDA phone soon and I'm looking at the Curve 8330 and 8830 from Sprint. My question is about their data plans.

I'd like to just get the Everything Data plan and be done with it. It appears to include BIS. My company doesn't have enterprise mail set up, so I don't think I need to pay extra for BES. Is that correct? I could just use the desktop redirector to get my company mail, yes? Could I set up the phone to both get that -and- my personal POP email?

Also, while I'm here, quick question -- can I set up a Blackberry to sync my contacts/calendar/etc to more than one PC?

Thanks for any and all info!

Blackberry desktop redirector is flaky, hasn't been developed, and is relatively "ancient"
it requires that your pc with redirector is on 24/7 in order to receive those emails.

as long as each pc has BB desktop manager installed, and whatever application you are sycning with; sycning with one pc, and then syncing bb to another shouldnt be a problem.

if your company doesnt have BES theres no point in paying for the BES plan.

Thanks for the info Midnight Draven. I'll be surprised if the BB desktop redirector is any worse than AT&T's Xpress Mail redirector which is what I'm using now. (Likes to do things like forget all my account information every 6 months or so.) But if that's not an option, does BB support using OWA to get mail? I mean without having to open a web browser.

yes you can setup OWA on the BIS (where you setup personal email)

Score! That works MUCH better. Thanks again!
