Can someone explain just how BB's do "push" better? Especially where concerned with Exchange ActiveSync.
I've had my Nexus S 4G, HTC Evo 4G, and Galaxy Nexus hooked up with ActiveSync for Exchange and it works. I've never had an issue with it. Also, I can log in via my employer's Outlook Web interface and wipe the phone if necessary.
I'm not trolling or anything, I just always see people say "BB does push email better than any one out there!" I've yet to see a feature that wasn't implemented there.
I know Android and Apple iOS implement ActiveSync based security policies. You can remote wipe, enforce password requirements, and enforce encryption, including rejecting adding a device if it doesn't support the encryption you want. Are there other management options that you can include with BES?
I know that ActiveSync can use SSL and you can even require client certificates. Does BES do something more secure?
I can imagine that if you use something other than Exchange, then BES may provide a way to get email onto handsets in a more secure and controlled fashion than IMAP with TLS. So for shops that use something else (Are you hiring?) I'm sure BES is vital. However, is that it's only saving grace?
Then again, most of the comparisons in this comment are about things other than push email and more about device security and management...so yeah, what's so awesome about BES's email?
