We recently installed a v4 BES connected to our Exchange plateform. Our goal is now to contact our POP mail customers to show them that solution. My question is : what should be my sales points regarding the user features, that is for example, what are its advantages over push email on Windows mobile (I'm not talking about the handheld, hardware nor software) ?
I can see the benefits from the admin point of view (policies, SMS/phone/PIN logs, ...). But I lack arguments from the user point of view. How can a BES BB have more mail features than Outlook on WM ?
There's a good thread here somewhere we had sometime last year (I think) about this stuff. It mentions a lot of the stuff you ask about. BB/BES is usually always a lot more expensive (if you already own Exchange and OWA) but the user experience is far better, you have more control and data use is a lot lower (I admin and use both and am a crackberry addict and the data comparisons are scary when you see how much WM uses).
And remember, EAS on Windows Mobile is not true push. More detail is in that other post but the device is told that an email is waiting for it and that it should pull it down.
