BlackBerry + AOL Compatibility?
Guys,
Any experience with "push" emails from AOL to a Blackberry? I'm having to take the plunge with one of these "ball and chain" devices and my main business email is from AOL (have had it for so long I don't want to change for marketing reasons.......). I appreciate your feedback.

Do you have a BES server?
By default you will not be able to push your AOL inbox to BB. You can try to forward your AOL inbox to the blackberry.net (but I don't think that forward is supported by AOL). Check with VersaForward (http://www.versaforward.com/) Good luck!!

What service provider are you using? Verizon offers VersaMail for free ... I guess some other providers will do the same ... I am on a BES corporate server and access my personal email via the browser (no need for push)

I currently use Sprint for my/our mobile needs but (to implement Blackberry) will change to either T-Mobile or Cingular (ATT) since they have good coverage internationally (I travel constantly).
I'm leaning towards ATT since T-Mobile's coverage in the US (at least here in South Florida) is very limited. ATT is 20-30% more expensive but, what good is cheap if you can't get coverage.... Any feedback ?

I have been on AT&T/Cingular since 1995 ... coverage overseas is awesome, be careful with 'international data roaming' REALLY expensive unless you order the international data option. Also there is an International calling package ($9/month) that will lower your phone calls while overseas.
I think that AT&T Mail (included) allows mail forwarding/pushing/pulling from other email (i.e. AOL) but not 100% sure, you may want to check on that. In any case VersaForward will do

Thanks for the heads up ! I got bitten by Sprint on that already.... We now use an Intl plan that lowers the roamning rate to about 10% of normal.
