Afternoon all

I am a UK based newbie, trying an 8310 currently using an iPhone.

My question is that I currently connect to our Windows Server 2003 without issue.

As I am only trialing the device I wonder what the easiest way of collecting my email and syncing with my calender. As we only have the one device I havent purchased an y of the Blackberry sofeware.

Thanks in advance

I misunderstood your original question. I thought your desktop PC was running Windows 2003 Server OS.

From your follow up, I take it that the Server is not your personal one but that your IT department runs for runing Microsoft Exchange etc?
What is it that you actually want on your blackberry? It may be better to get to a solution from what you want. Because it doesn't sound to me loke you can physically connect your BlackBerry to the server machine.

THe 2003 small business server is in the IT department (which I look after) I want mail to be pushed to my 8310 and for full sync of my outlook calender. I thought there was some sort of single licence that I could download, as I say I am trying it it it works out I may look at replacing some of the PDA (windows ). I have consistansly been told how good BB's are so I want to see for myself.

Can I be converted from my iPhone ?

OK. So it sounds like you are trying to see if you can roll out BlackBerry to replace windows PDA used by your company.

This is probably what you want. A trial version oof BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

You can use the trial version of BES or if less than 5 users, try the Blackberry Unite software.
