Why choose Microsoft Push over BlackBerry?
The beauty of Microsoft's push email solution is that no BES or equivalent is required and you just pay for the data use depending on volume. Both O2 (200Mb from £6.38 per month) and Vodafone (500Mb from £7.50 per month) provide a simple low cost bolt on for your voice tariff that will generally be sufficient for most business email needs.
