Simply here is my problem. I currently have a bank of Blackberry's along with a BES server for my IT Department. For a variety of reason I would like to switch to using iPhones or Androids with Exchange.
However, we are 24/7 so my phone and my staffs phone HAVE to be on 24/7. So we currently only synch certain folders within our exchange mailbox's to come to our phones. I can't see a way to do that with either the iPhone or Android phones. That's not to say there is not but I cannot find a clear answer on this. The problem is I can't even experiment as that is an expensive habit. To get the phones I need to buy the phones....
If anyone out there can explain it, someone here can. Thanks!!
Good's Enterprise Product supports email for Windows Mobile, Apple., Android and some Symbian devices and includes:
Push email with proprietary client
Mobile Control - device control policies, permissible application etc.
Intranet Access via 'vpn like' connection
Essentially, it provides much of the functionality of BlackBerry in one package across multiple platforms (although not all functionality is supported on all platforms).

I've use both the messaging and 'vpn' products previously - deployed 19000+ devices across the Globe running on Windows Mobile, Palm and Symbian devices - this was a few years ago and obviously IOS and Android have arrived after that. My experience was it worked very well indeed, was easy to setup, and administer etc.
