I originally wanted a business/pleasure phone which is why I bought the Storm. Since I can't afford BES, I quickly discovered the limitations that any BB has if you aren't connected via a Blackberry Enterprise Server. I run outlook 2007 and keep 1 subfolder for each of my customer groups. I could not sync any of them with my Storm, just the inbox. I couldn't sync my calendar or my contacts either. I also couldn't download large files or reliably access the content on my SharePoint portal. My iPhone does all of these things out of the box, plus I can remotely wipe the device if it's lost or stolen.
I still use a Curve on BES for my day job and love it and I have been using my Storm strictly for tethering which it is suprisingly good at. My opinion is you aren't on BES, the BB BIS solution seems to be lacking in some very basic functionality that pretty much all other smartphones are providing out of the box.........
just my .02 | I agree with your comment 100%. It still baffles me as to why RIM handles BIS in this manner. Don't get me wrong, BB's are cool and everything, but BIS is really lacking. I can go without push email, but show me something else other than my inbox and 1 way sync.
Every other smartphone does this without the need to spend an extra ten to fifteen dollars per month.
