Which of these works best with a single exchange 2003 server sitting behind a tight firewall. Thanks MXC
- If you have HTTPS access, typically for OWA or RPC over HTTPS, Exchange ActiveSync uses the same port.

A Palm that runs Windows Mobile is fine. One that runs PalmOS is not going to give you full functionality, nor is a Blackberry unless you run Blackberry Enterprise Server.
Like Bharat said, WM uses OWA or RPC over HTTPS. So that's an easy solution. However if you have locked that down, you may want to look at Blackberry Ent Server. On a side note, Palm OS isn't going to give the same level of integration that WM or BB will. If you go with Palm, choose the WM versions.

We have both Palm OS and BlackBerry in our environment as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server. From a management point of view BlackBerry with BES is the way to go. Functionality wise I can get pretty much the same abilities (assuming the BES is in play). In addition if your local carrier support BlackBerry Connect (ours doesn't) you can integrate select Palm and Windows Mobile devices with BES.
