RE: Blackberry Rim Server

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess you know the normal retail price of v3 of the BES (which has just
been upgraded to v4) is around =A32k?

BES itself doesn't need anything meaty to run on; a P3 would be more than
enough.  I think it does have issues cohabiting on the same server that
Exchange runs on, but I could be wrong there.  The only demo I've seen on a
P900 running BB was very underwhelming; it barely worked at all.
Considering even the Nokias, that ship with BB support, make a pigs ear of
it, I'd be surprised if you could get it running well on a P910 (though
goo=
d
luck with trying).  I'm waiting for the Siemens SK65 to be released, should
only be another couple of weeks; this is the first non-RIM handset to fully
support all the BES features.

Having typed all this, did you actually mean BES, or have I missed the
poin=
t
and is there something called a BB Rim server?

Thinking about installing a Blackberry Rim server.

Apart from the software (going to hopefully buy it second hand) is there
anything I need specifically that I should be aware of?

I assume that I can use a PC running windows server to host it and I have a
P910i which can apparently support Blackberry.

IS there any other hardware I am missing? Am I missing something important?

In fact anyone here got any server software for sale?

Thanks,
