Just as an update to this, Maintenance Release 1 for BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP1 has been released. This MR introduces support for Exchange 2010.
Well, never I guess! I just got off the phone to T-Support. I have an SMB license - and I know there is another thread about this also.
Apparently, version 5.0.1 will not be supported for SMB licenses. Professional has reached End of Life and so will never support Exchange 2010.
Bit disappointed by the fact that 5.0.1 will not be supported by SMB license holders...even though I was specifically told by the RIM sales rep that all future upgrades will be included in the T-Support contract. Sent an email to the sales rep...
Having said that, I have been told by the RIM rep that 5.0 does not include anything to check which license is being used (as long as it is a valid BB CAL) - and so, you can potentially upgrade to 5.0 from Professional - and possibly get the HTML goodness...(I am not saying you should do this - in case RIM lawyers are hovering around - just conveying that T-Support said that there is nothing to check this in their software!)
