RIM's BlackBerry solution has been implemented in over 14,500 organizations in North America and Europe with 320,000 current users.
BlackBerry is the leading wireless e-mail solution for the enterprise. With BlackBerry for Microsoft Exchange, or Lotus Domino, mobile users can send and receive their Microsoft Exchange corporate e-mail and access information wherever they go. It's the only totally integrated package that includes desktop tools, server software, flat-rate airtime and wireless handhelds, providing a complete, end-to-end solution. The new PDA now has a fully functional cell phone built in so that executives on the go don't need to tote two gadgets.
Out
of the box, it comes stocked with all of the core applications you'd expect,
including always-on access to corporate e-mail, SMS messaging, a wireless Web
browser, an electronic organizer, and, as previously mentioned, a cell phone. On
top of that, you get typical phone features such as caller ID, call waiting,
conference calling, and call forwarding.
