Hosted Exchange Blog

Those with exchange hosting often choose to get it because they need to have access to their business or other parts of their lives no matter where they may happen to be. They also tend to choose the wireless sync option as well, giving them the ability to link up to their email and business documents no matter where they are as long as they have a smart phone. One of the newest smart phones, the iPhone 3G, has been highly anticipated on the market, but is it all cracked up?

According to Engadget, many of their readers have iPhone 3G’s that are developing hairline cracks on the case of the phone. These cracks are occurring on both the white and the black phones, and does not seem to be created by any large trauma to the phone. While the cracks are cosmetically annoying, they do not seem to interfere with the workings of the phone, making it possible to still connect to your exchange hosting or to sync up wirelessly no matter where you are. They are, however, extremely annoying, so make sure that you are extra careful with your iPhone 3G, or you’ll find a crack or two that you won’t like.

Some people do not have the capabilities to use the wireless sync offered by exchange email hosting. They can still use the exchange hosting services, but they are not able to connect wirelessly because they do not have a “smart phone”. This means that they’re tethered to some sort of wire or another. Dealing with all of these wires can get extremely confusing, and even if you happen to have a smart phone or PDA, you will likely have to connect it to something at some point in time. How can you learn how which wire goes to what?

Fortunately one website has recognized the need to learn how to differentiate between different cords and has provided a visual cue for those of us who need to know which cord goes into which hole. On Giz Explains, there is an illustrated guide to “every stupid cable you need” making it quick and easy to be able to understand which plug does what. After you figure out what cable you need to plug in your computer or your PDA so that you can access what you need from exchange email hosting, you can then label them with some masking tape to make it easy to figure out which cable is which the next time around!

According to several resources, AT&T has already started training their employees on the BlackBerry Bold.  RIM which is usually quite about new products before launch has offered much more insight this time.

With the BOLD prominently displayed on their website for a few weeks now, and the WES announcement, could this be a change in how RIM will launch new deivces in the future?

I am sure that I am not the only one waiting for this new device to hit the stores, so could it happen soon?

We have learned from the past that AT&T doesn’t start their training programs until a few weeks before launch. Seems the rumor is that the launch will be the last week of August or the first week of September.

My 8300 is shot, scratched lens, drool from my 10 month old son trying to eat it, numerous drops from waist high, and yet it still works perfectly. You really just can’t beat a BlackBerry when it comes to durability and the wireless synchronization it provides, especially when connected to our Hosted Microsoft Exchange and Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Servers.

As you can see i’m super excited for this new device ( which I already have on order with RIM ).
SHIP IT ALREADY! :- )

One thing you’ll soon discover is that there’s no comfortable way to watch videos, as the iPhone doesn’t come with a stand. You’ll either have to hold it… or try to prop it up at a decent viewing angle.

OR - Fish a business card out of your wallet. Instructables shows you how to turn an ordinary business card into a damn good iPhone stand (it works quite nicely with the iPod touch, too).

Once you get the iPhone standing properly, make sure you checkout the new ActiveSync features, and wirelessly sync it with your Hosted Exchange 2007 Mailbox.

Albertson, NY, July 11,2008 -

Exchange My Mail just announced that they have tested the new firmware update 2.0 and have had great success in getting the iPhone to connect to their Hosted Exchange Servers.

With this update or the new 3G iPhone, users can now get wireless synchronization of email, contacts and calendar with their Exchange Outlook profile. This will work with Exchange 2003 and 2007 by simply following the basic ActiveSync instructions provided free with every mailbox. Additional features include Global Address List lookup and remote wipe capabilities.

ActiveSync has been widely used in recent years due to the popularity of Windows Mobile phones such as the Samsung Blackjack, Motorola Q, AT&T Tilt and Palm Treo phones to name a few. Users have found the convenience and functionality of the program to be invaluable. iPhone users are now able to join this esteemed group by either purchasing the new 3G iPhone or updating the firmware to 2.0 ( when publicly available ) and can take advantage of full wireless synchronization from their Exchange My Mail web based control panel.

When you spend the money to install Microsoft Exchange 2007 into your company, you will be limited in the options that you have available to you. Yes, your business will get the ability to use Microsoft Exchange 2007, but unless you purchase other programs, you will never have the myriad of options available to you the way you do when you choose exchange hosting.

Exchange hosting allows you to not only get the use of Microsoft Exchange 2007, it also allows you to pick and choose from a virtual buffet of programs that the company has available. One popular program that exchange hosting companies allow you to select is SharePoint. SharePoint is a program that was created to promote easy and effective collaborations. Another selection that is available when you choose exchange hosting is wireless sync. Wireless sync gives your employees the ability to get their email in real time, giving them access to the business world every second of the day with no delays. With exchange hosting you also get to have the best security programs available on the market, all for one quick cost. Exchange hosting is like an all-you-can–eat buffet for your business, giving you the technological tools you need to stay in the competition.

For some company employees, computers are considered to be “evil”. They are scary pieces of equipment that are more trouble than they are worth. Others, however, enjoy the way that a computer can help them to organize their business efficiently and quickly. The trick, when you own a small business, is to find a middle ground – a product and system that is easy for those who are unfamiliar with computers to use, yet has enough goodies on it to give those who enjoy technology some new toys to play with.

A hosted exchange server may be the answer that you are looking for. When you go through a hosted exchange server, you are using a program that is simple and easy. It requires no commands and can be worked easily with a few clicks of the mouse. But a hosted exchange server also offers plenty for the technologically advanced, giving them the ability to play with the many different options that are available, such as wireless synch and SharePoint. A hosted exchange server is a perfect middle ground for those companies where the technological skill level ranges from none to expert.
