orange blackberry in india

[McBunny]

will it work ?

how does blackberry get the e-mails to the phone gprs ?

 

[Tom]

Yes it works.

 

[McBunny]

any more details ?

we need one user at the mo to pick up his e-mails in india from our exchange server so a bb enterprise server isnt a viable option so what do we need to do ?

 

[Tom]

Does he do it in the uk?

India have 3G/gprs so just roam and it works
Just costs a fortune.

 

[McBunny]

no he doesnt do any e-mail to mobile

everything i read seems to indicate most places are gprs max

 

[Tom]

Not a problem, data is data.

 

[McBunny]

yes but isnt gprs only 9.6k ?? and hscsd 28.8 ??

 

[Tom]

No gprs is on average 43k

Packet data is 9.6/14.4
High speed circuit switched data is 28.8
GPRS 85.6kbit/s downlink + 21.4kbit/s uplink (max)
Then HSDPA etc etc

we have decided to just setup a blackberry server it seems orange are going to give us the software 20 user license (i think) and phones free
