Something wrong with your media playback. The video worked for me.

[citation][nom]extremepcs[/nom]No mention of ActiveSync support... Bury BES already, please.[/citation]

Interestingly my BB device handles all emails superb - while iOS required me to manually set up my university's email. I think BB wins one here.

Universal inbox on BB OS was always the best in the business, and I have still not found anything that competes.

Still, stability issues with apps, and the shear cost of BB data plans made my decision to go Android a lot easier. I do miss my universal inbox though...

Looking more to the par of what others are offering. Although I still don't like the keyboard, they could've just have that T9 predictive style for roomier keyboard.

And the data plan better be in-house carrier network, I am no enterprise user.

EAS (SSL) SUCKS big time. I've lost count how many time's I've had to reconfigure EAS the same devices. Yet my BB > BES relation has been connected for over a yet. Mail migrations for both are a PITA however. Data plans expensive, BIS cost the same as data plans for Androids - data plans for iPhones are ridiculous generally speaking, but thats the carriers recovering their investments for LTE and the HUGE subsidiaries they are offering with the iPhone, etc - $750 for a phone?! BES is roughly $5-$10 more per month, but the Exchange services (over 60) that are brought right to the phone are and will remain unmatched by any provider. International data is ridiculously inexpensive at $20 additional per month and gives you unlimited BIS/BES traffic. Anyway, a couple years ago, our SSL expired on the weekend I happen to test an Android. Needless to say, email to my phone broke and I did not find out about it until very late.
