I am on a BIS at work. My emails are delyed 10-15 on my bb. IS there any way to get instant or much faster delivery to my BB from my outlook? thanks

Do your emails come from a POP3 account or directly from the [email protected]? One could be much faster than the other and if that's the case, you could forward the slower one to the faster one.
There are a couple of topics on the forum already but the short answer is no, you cannot get your mail any quicker on BIS, it's just the way the infrastructure works.
OWA is the same way, e-mails show up on the device between 5 and 10 minutes after they arrive on the desktop.
If you're running Exchange at work (I'm sure you can do this with other servers as well, but I'm an Exchange guy; you'll need an admin's help if that's not you) you could create a blackberry.net addy for your device and add it as an address book entry on your Exchange server. Then you can have your Exchange e-mail address forward a copy of all e-mails to your blackberry.net address. In my situation having done that, delivery was near instantaneous.
OWA is the web-based interface for Exchange. The only workaround that I'm aware of is (like I said above) for your Exchange admin to add your blackberry.net e-mail address to the Exchange address book, and set your Exchange e-mail address to forward a copy of all e-mail to your blackberry.net address.
i just asked my IT guy. he can add the bb address but says i will then get 2 emails on my blackberry which seems it would be more annoying than the delay..thnk u anyway for the suggestion.

but then my replies would be from my vzw and not my work
*nod*
Your Exchange server should resolve the blackberry.net address to whatever name the administrator puts in the address book entry, but yeah, the replies would come from your blackberry.net addy.
Alternately, you could try something like AstraSync. For a $50/year licensing fee, you get EAS (Exchange Active Sync) on your BlackBerry. The only problem with that, though, is that AstraSync is a separate application and isn't very well integrated with the rest of the BlackBerry.
How about doing as has been suggested and forwarding your emails to your blackberry email address but then logging in to your BIS website and setting up a filter to not send the OWA account mails to the Blackberry. Then you'd still have the account on your phone and could send your replies from that account but wouldn't be receiving the emails twice.
That might be a workable work around for you but it would of course mean deletions are no longer synchronised.

how do i change my vzw bb address to reply with my work email?
You don't. If you have it FWDing to your BB addy, and you've got BIS set to not FWD your OWA email to your device, then when you get an e-mail to your device that you need to reply from your OWA address, just trackball up to the "from" field and change the address to your OWA address.
