blackberry again

[beaver]

I think I want a blackberry pearl - i like the idea of my business emails in real time, and also want my Outlook calendar synchronised.

My work email is POP3, not Exchange, so will it work? I called Orange today but they just couldn't get to grips with it, nor could our provider.

All I can work out is that it "pushes" email rather than pulling it, and I got even more confused looking at the blackberry site.

Any help much appreciated!

yes it can deal with pop 3 fine using the BIS or www.blackberry.orange.co.uk site

BB Pearl via desktop manager will sync everything to outlook except email - unless you have BIS (not sure what that is but some kind of major business software = major £.

I'm with O2 and this is how I get it.

O2email address (seacroft at O2email dot co dot uk) - only come thru' on the Pearl. I can send & reply and it will accept attachments.

Any other email address ( I have steve at benani dot co dot uk - but set up only to send messages to my Pearl from certain people ) come thru' to my Pearl and I can send & reply etc.

Not sure if there is a limit to the number of email addresses, also not sure if it's different on Orange/Voda etc

If you want more info contact me on the first email address above.

Tip: Although the Pearl does not sync emails you can still write emails on your computer. Write a note in Outlook, sync with phone, open note and click options (?) and choose send as email. Very useful for long or tech emails.
