An organisation I know has a small fleet of Vodafone Blackberry devices and a BES.  Looking at mobility options it seemed a Blackberry 3G with Bluetooth would be a nice way to provide mobile data to the mobile workers. While e-mail is fine, they could also access other corporate services, do mail via Outlook etc.

I know it was somewhat hard with a Telecom Blackberry but does Vodafone (or the hardware itself) allow this?

Thanks

Blackberry phone as modem on Vodafone works fine



But remember the data comes off the Blackberry plan bundle

Thanks John.

I think the Blackberries are already on data plans though it's not clear to me if they are individual or there is a data pool. This a public sector organisation so I suspect there are good deals with Voda in play here

And the BB's are 3G and have BT? There seems to be a mixture of Storms and the 9000's here

Can the phones do BT or do you need a cable?

Thanks
