Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18191381 en Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:36:56 EDT Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:36:56 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18193989 openbox9 : Push email and and sync are there, but from what I recall, the security policy and enforcement to the level that I needed was not. Things might have changed in the last few months and maybe when WM6 rolls, even more will change, but when I looked, Exchange and WM5 didn't have what I needed and BlackBerry and BES did.

SD card encryption is a step in the right direction. This can currently be accomplished with 3rd party apps like Apriva and Trust Digital, but out of the box, Microsoft didn't provide a good solution.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18193989 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:50:44 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18192823 chanur :

My personal experience says this is unfortunately not true. Additionally, I have gotten some duplicates as well, and others trickling in 8 - 12 hours later. The whole thing is messy.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18192823 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:40:34 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18192289 Foxbat121 : Your first two concerns are already implemented in current push email and WM5 devices. That is you can, actually most deployment should always do so, push down a security policy in order to let the device to sync with server.

As for wipe out SD card, I think it is left out in WM5 and WM6.0 implements SD card encryption instead. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18192289 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:08:35 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191898 openbox9 : It's a lot more than remote wipe. My research is a couple of months old and this is off of the top of my head, but:

- Password complexity and enforcement
- Security policy implementation/enforcement for devices
- Wiping the whole device (including SD storage)

I'm sure there are others, but I don't have access to my research results.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191898 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:58:21 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191843 The Beer : MS does have a handheld wipe like Blackberry now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191843 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:46:44 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191760 openbox9 : When MS gives me the security capabilities that RIM's BES does, then I'll agree with your assessment. Until then, additional products are required in the mix to equate to RIM's service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191760 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:32:12 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191544 Foxbat121 :

One of my problems with my Q was it did not download entire messages, so I would have to click on "Download Entire Message"
That's a simple setting in the email setup. You can chose head only, first 0.5k, 1K ... or download all. The default is first 0.5k IIRC.

WM6, IIRC, adds download while you read functionality. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191544 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:52:36 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191525 Foxbat121 : Using WM5 Smartphone right now synced directly to company exchange server. However, not sure if it is coincidence or not, my company's OWA and apparently Mobile access went out 5PM yesterday as well until 2AM this morning. We support both WM5 and BB. Maybe the BB enterprise server running on the same server as OWA and mobile access server.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191525 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:49:04 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191521 Darkflight : Appears to be intermittent.

I went back to Blackberry on Sunday.

Worth the extra $20 a month.

EDIT: BTW I was not down.

Mine did die.

And now it's working again]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191500 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:44:57 EDT Re: Back-up plans ?? - switch from Blackberry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18191464 jay608 : NS..

RIM officials recommend all who depend on their BlackBerry as a major way of communication should make some back-up plans in case more problems occur Wednesday morning.
And one of the back-up plans their users should consider is evaluating alternatives to RIM. There are plenty of competitors out there both in hardware and in networks and their users should maybe look elsewhere.
