Can I have a little bit of what you are smoking? BB"s tech is leaps and bounds ahead of MS, their only major competitor, and it's "Direct Push" technology, which isn't even push to begin with. If you read up on how the technology really works, you'll see it's a pull technology which requires a
constant data connection between handheld and Exchange server. Lets not forget about the enterprise control offered by BB's is unparalleled by anything else out there.
MS is supposed to release a lot more device control with the next Exchange 2007 SP and and a WM6.1 update or AKU, but it will still be extremely lacking compared to what RIM offers.
RIM needs to improve on the way they communicate to Exchange, because it's way to intensive on the MAPI side, but their push tech to/from the handhelds is the best out there.
