I know similar threads have existed in the past but with new phones coming out I need advice.

I am thinking about switching to a Blackberry contract in a few months as I want PUSH email.

Are there any other networks doing anything similar with PUSH email? I am with Telewest/NTL/Virgin Media and use GroupWise at work. What handsets would you recommend?

The only network that is out of the question is T-Mobile because of poor reception.

The major networks that sell to business (Voda, O2, T-Mobile, Orange, as well as BT via MVNO) all support Blackberries.

Whether you're considering getting a BES server installed at work and attaching to that or just going for a personal deal I'd just decide what you want and shop around. If you're planning on installing a server, try and make sure that the provider isn't scared off by Groupwise (not that any of them should be by now).

Do you want this privately or through work???

The blackberry is one option. but as i say three do push email on any smart phone for very reasonable rates.

I work for a local authority and GroupWise is already in use and this would be a personal buy.

I am currently with Three and was ticked off when they introduced the £25 downgrading fee. I tried to explain to the off-shore call centre that I wanted to drop £5 on my calling plan and add a total of £5 of extras incl email. They could not operate outside of the script no matter how much I tried to tell them they would still be getting the same amount of money off me every month. Ironically, Three is the best for reception for me, just pi**ed off at them.

Also heard that Three are planning to introduce their own version of T-Mobile Vario II / Orange SPV.
