AstraSync and Blackberry: Could it get any better?
Most all of my clients have either a BlackBerry or an iPhone. And almost all of them use Microsoft Exchange. This is not going to be a compare and contrast of who is better: the BlackBerry or the iPhone. Of couse the iPhone has ActiveSync integrated into the OS if you have the Enterprise Data Plan from your Wireless Provider. But now there is an equalizer, AstraSync enters the picture. AstraSync allows for you to synchronize your BlackBerry with your Exchange server without having to Install BlackBerry Enterprise Server or its free counterpart. AstraSync is like ActiveSync for the BlackBerry. It allows you to get and recieve Exchange Email, it updates your calendar and your contacts, you can flag messages and add attatchments. Pretty slick if you ask me. Also, what I hear is that you do not have to upgrade your phone to the Enterprise Data Plan to be able to use it. You can just get an unlimited data plan with your provider and away you go. The software costs $49 per year and is well worth it when you look at your savings from not having to have an Enterprise Data Plan. They also offer a free trial so that you can get your feet wet with to see if you really want it. Just use the link below to give it a try.
