So does the Desktop Rediector require an exchange server? I have tried using it but I keep getting errors and the program quits on me.
Are there any other ways I can get email on this thing?

If you do not have BES or Exchange, you need to run the Desktop redirector or use the Blackberry Web Client.
The Desktop Redirector is a program that runs on your pc, and when an email arrives in your email client program (Outlook, Outlook Express, etc), it passes it to the Desktop redirector, which then sends it on to your Blackberry. The major downside to this, is that you need to have your PC on and you need to be logged into it in order for your BB to work.
The Blackberry Web Client (BWC or Blackberry Internet Service -BIS) is simply a web site that you go to and register an email address to, and the email then gets forwarded to your BB. See
