With Exchange SP2 +, WMDs connect right to the Exchange server rather than have to pay for BES licenses or have a BES server or supporting RIM. I have found older WMDs to be less stable than Blackberrys (yes, hanging and rebooting 1/day), but recent newer devices have been quite robust (I enjoyed "evaluating" the new Mogul and Touch from Sprint). Having used both Blackberrys and WMDs, I still prefer my Treo 700w - just a nice feel to the layout, but that probably goes into the category of why I know the color red is much superior to yellow.....

Blackberry servers actually log into Outlook Web Access and do all their work through there. I had it working with Exchange 2003 and ISA2006, but when I upgraded to Exchange 2007 it no longer works.
