Exchange My Mail – Now Offering Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express

Exchange My Mail – Now Offering Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express

First Market-Available Offering Provides Email and Calendar Synching to Small and Medium Business without Expensive Data Plans

Jericho, NY – March 31st, 2011 – Exchange My Mail, a leading provider of Microsoft Exchange Email hosting to small and medium businesses, today announced the availability of its hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express solution for small and medium-sized businesses.  The new solution enables Exchange My Mail customers to wirelessly sync their email, calendar and contacts between their BlackBerry smartphones and their desktops, without having to pay for expensive enterprise data plans with their wireless carrier.

“We saved about $15 per month per BlackBerry switching to this new solution, and it works great. We get the same functionality as we did before, and now save about $300 a month on our wireless plan. Manny Castineiras, Limtiless Communications.”

Most wireless carriers charge a large premium for data plans that let customers connect their BlackBerry smartphones to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.  This additional monthly fee increases the cost of using BlackBerry smartphones to small and medium businesses.  Exchange My Mail’s industry-first solution offers these small and medium businesses the same connectivity and productivity benefits, while still utilizing the more cost effective basic data plan from their wireless carriers..

“We launched Exchange My Mail with the goal of providing small and medium business cost-effective technologies that allow them to compete with larger businesses,” said Sal DiPiazza, Exchange My Mail’s CEO. “Our new hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Express Server offering continues to raise the bar in providing powerful productivity solutions to SMBs.  Combined with our hosted Exchange 2010 email offering and our industry-leading service and support that larger providers cannot provide, Exchange My Mail’s new hosted BlackBerry Express service is a no brainer for small and medium-sized businesses.”

Exchange My Mail is a BlackBerry Alliance Member and is a leading provider of hosted BlackBerry business solutions to SMBs.  The company continues to offer BlackBerry Enterprise Server hosting for businesses with advanced mobility and security needs, and also offers hosted BlackBerry services for Google Apps email customers.

Exchange My Mail’s new service is now available with all hosted Exchange plans starting at just $9.99 per BlackBerry, per month.

To learn more about Exchange My Mail’s new hosted BlackBerry service, please email support@exchangemymail.com

Exchange My Mail Offers Full Hosted Exchange Support for New Verizon iPhone

Verizon-iPhone.jpg

Exchange My Mail, Inc, a leader in Hosted Microsoft Exchange, today announced that its hosted Exchange service will be available on the new Verizon iPhone the same day it is made available to customers. Exchange My Mail will use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, to configure the new Verizon iPhone to wirelessly send and receive Exchange email, calendar, contacts and more.

Exchange My Mail supports business class email and collaboration on a wide range of smartphones, including BlackBerry,  iPhone, Motorola Droid, Palm Treo, Google’s Nexus One, Samsung Blackjack, Motorola Q, and the T-Mobile Dash .

Interest in Apple devices has had tremendous growth in the industry as a whole. We see a tremendous increase in mobile devices that use ActiveSync to wirelessly sync data like the iPhone & iPad.

As more business people come to rely on smartphones, including the iPhone, to access Microsoft Exchange, demand for our mobility services has increased. Companies no longer have to standardize on a single smartphone to minimize operational expenses and complexity. Each user can select the smartphone that works best for them.

“The most popular question we get from existing and potential customers is whether or not their current phone, or the new phone that is about to be launched will be supported by our business-class hosted email,” says Steven Daneshgar, Exchange My Mail. “We want it to be known that the Verizon’s iPhone is fully supported.”

Apple iOS4 & ActiveSync Problems

iOS4 & ActiveSync Problems:

Exchange Mail, Contacts, or Calendars may not sync after update.

We have been reading many articles all over the web about users who have recently upgraded to the latest iOS4 for their iPhone. This new OS is also standard on the iPhone4. Although Exchange My Mail has not suffered from this issue yet, we want to be proactive about it. We are closely monitoring our ActiveSync infrastructure.

It has been reported by Apple, that “immediately after updating to iOS 4, some users may notice that Exchange ActiveSync Mail, Contacts, or Calendars do not sync, or sync very slowly. In addition, some Exchange Server administrators may notice their servers running slowly”.

Microsoft has classified this as a client side issue related to the Apple iOS4 update and is not planning to release a patch or update.

Apple has released a knowledge base article and a configuration patch for impacted phones which can be found at the following URL: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3398

If you are upgrading your iPhone or have purchased a new iPhone4 device you MUST install the configuration update above. Failure to do so will result in incomplete sync of your items and may cause performance issues. If you run an iOS4 device without the configuration patch above your device may be disabled for policy violation to prevent performance issues.

Evernote Comes to BlackBerry.

evernote-for-blackberry

As you may already know, we love Evernote. We’ve blogged about it several times here, but today is special. Although this post is a bit late, we are very excited to se Evernote on the BlackBerry!

The team over at Bnet blogged about this on May 12th, and I’ve personally been loving it since that day.

Evernote for BlackBerry lets you create notes containing text, snapshots, voice recordings, and file attachments. Once created, the new content is automatically sent to the Evernote Service, making it available across all the versions of Evernote that you use. You can also access your existing notes, search by keywords, filter by tags and notebooks, or simply browse.

So lets give credit where credit is due, and link you right to the source.

Facebook for BlackBerrys and iPhones – Mobile Addiction

bb_facebookSocial networking websites have rapidly been changing the way we use the web. Perhaps the greatest change over the last year has been the way in which people are accessing websites such as Facebook. Adoption of the new Facebook application for BlackBerry Smartphones and iPhones has been tremendous (over 1 million downloads reached in 2008) and many users are now accessing Facebook not from home, but from wherever they may be and whatever time of day. Social media has gone mobile.

Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones has been available for a while now, but its popularity is growing exponentially. It is a free piece of software available for download directly from your BlackBerry. It is simple to install and run and you will notice that Facebook has been changed significantly to provide better functionality and viewing on your Smartphone. Admittedly, the application is not as feature rich as if you were accessing Facebook from a PC but the convenience of being able to make simple status updates or send messages to friends is too good to pass up.

Perhaps one of the best features of the application is photo-sharing which is not available on any other version of Facebook. This allows you to take a photo with your Blackberry and then with one click you can have it posted to Facebook. This feature means you could be travelling somewhere or having a fun day out and instantly be able to share your experience with your friends.

There are a few hindrances, however. You will not be able to use any third party apps on Facebook and connection speeds can vary based on your location. The ease of use and simple design is helping to create a new niche of mobile micro-blogging, in which friends can interact with each other anywhere on the planet and at anytime.

Download the application here:

Can the iPhone 2.0 Replace Blackberry as the “Must Have” Business Smartphone?

For businesspeople addicted to their Blackbberries, the original Apple iPhone may have been tempting; but at the end of the day, most users were not persuaded to switch over. With the release of the iPhone 2.0, featuring 3G mobile internet access and a suite of business-friendly software applications, Apple is stepping things up a notch by competing with Blackberry for its core demographic: serious business users.

The iPhone 2.0 is faster and more versatile than its predecessor, using high-speed mobile internet technology (also known as 3G, or “third generation”). This upgrade alone sets the new iPhone apart from the original version — and most of the competition. Users can now surf the web and retrieve e-mail at twice the speed of the “old” iPhone.

Version 2.0 also features integrated GPS navigation, and a software suite tailor-made for business users, including mobile versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and Excel. The inclusion of the Microsoft business “trifecta” makes the 3G iPhone the first serious competitor to the Blackberry for business use. The new model will also include Microsoft Exchange, to allow personal and company e-mail, contacts and calendar events to be accessible on the iPhone.

Additionally, the contacts feature now includes a (much needed) search function. This allows users to access names, numbers and appointments much quicker than the current “keep scrolling until you find it” system used on the original iPhone.

All of these advances make the iPhone 2.0 a serious contender for hard-core business users. Apple has even reduced the price, making it easier than ever for Blackberry users to switch over. But price isn’t everything, and the question on many people’s mind is whether the iPhone 2.0 can really replace the Blackberry as a business-oriented smartphone? Let’s take a look at a few of the pros and cons of the new iPhone from a business user’s point of view.

IPhone Advantages

Both the Blackberry and the iPhone 2.0 are strong in some areas and weak and others. Right out of the box, the biggest strength for the new iPhone is its 3G mobile internet capability. This allows iPhone users to surf the web at 2 Mb per second, a serious improvement over the 384 kb per second top speed of the original model. It’s also faster than any Blackberry currently on the market.
Note: the new Blackberry “Bold” will also use 3G technology, but it won’t be available until August or September at the earliest.

When it comes to web browsing in general, the iPhone 2.0 has definitely got the edge. It’s faster and more user-friendly than the Blackberry. The iPhone also uses a mobile version of Apple’s Safari web browser and connects effortlessly to WiFi networks (only one Blackberry model currently has built-in WiFi).

The iPhone also has a more robust MP3 player (basically a built-in iPod), and it handles media files more elegantly than the Blackberry. Of course, for hard-core business users this may not be a deal-breaker; still, it’s nice to have.

IPhone Disadvantages

Battery life can be a big issue with business smartphones. It can be disastrous to run out of “juice” when you’re on the road and risk losing contact with the home office. Million-dollar accounts have been lost that way. This is where the Blackberry has a distinct advantage: easily replaceable batteries. Unlike the Blackberry, iPhone batteries are not removable, so simply carrying around a spare in your laptop bag isn’t an alternative. To make matters worse, the iPhone’s 3G mobile web browsing is fairly battery intensive. Of course, the new Blackberry Bold (when it finally arrives) will have to deal with this same issue, but the ability to simply pop in a fresh battery gives Blackberry an obvious advantage on this point.

The other great disadvantage of using the new iPhone for business is its lack of a physical keyboard. Blackberry users have become accustomed to the miniscule QWERTY keypad, and power users often become very adept at answering e-mails via the tiny keys. While Apple’s virtual touchscreen keypad isn’t bad, for business users there’s really nothing like having a physical keyboard.

Tempted by the Fruit: Blackberry or Apple?

Is it worthwhile to retire your Blackberry and jump on the iPhone 2.0 bandwagon? The answer depends upon how you use your smartphone. If you primarily check and answer e-mails with your Blackberry, you might be better off staying put. True, the new iPhone would send and receive e-mails faster; but the speed difference won’t be dramatic. If you are already comfortable with the Blackberry’s keypad and e-mail interface, why rock the boat?

On the other hand, if your business involves more research than actual e-mailing, and you find yourself constantly searching the web, the iPhone 2.0 will be hard to resist. With faster internet access speeds, and one of the most user-friendly mobile internet browsers available, the iPhone has a distinct advantage over the Blackberry when it comes to all things web-shaped.

For most other uses, it’s pretty much a toss up. Both of these units are excellent smartphones in their own right, and represent a quantum leap forward in mobile communication. Whether you choose to stick with Blackberry, or jump ship and join the Apple camp, you’re still getting a lot of mobile “bang” for your buck.

Lock The BlackBerry Storms Touch Screen.

Talk Lock, FreeDownload

Talk Lock, FreeDownload

How frustrating it is to have your calls muted or speakerphone activated when talking on the phone?

Well this is the case with the new BlackBerry Storm even after applying the latest update.  Unlike other touch screen devices that deactivate the screen during a call, the Storm screen stays activated allowing a user to accidentally press a key when the phone is held against your face.

How cool would it be to have the screen lock during a call and allow you to unlock it by sliding your finger across the screen like an iPhone?

TalkLock is a free software download that will allow you to do just that. This is a must have for any Blackberry users with a Storm and let’s not forget, it’s free. This utility will lock the screen during a phone call and unlocks the screen when the call is ended but if you need access to the screen while on a call simply use the slide to unlock feature just like an iPhone.

Visit the TalkLock website, and get more info.
