Email questions.
I was aware that you can only use enterprise email accounts with the 8800 before I bought it, but is there any way I could still use personal accounts, or is there any workaround like the iPhone with free exchange push email? If not, it's not really a big deal but it would still be good to have. TIA.

Actually... Nevermind. I was looking through email setup and I saw personal email setup...
So I went online to the BIS site, did the change device thing, then on the device re-registered host routing tables and sent the service books, and bam, I have 4 personal email accounts on my 8800... That's kind of strange... Aren't 8800 series models not supposed to do personal email? Enterprise only? It says that on the BB site...

I don't know where you read that. Post a link, but any BB can be used for BIS, BES or a combo platter.

Here's a link: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices...6&products=403
It says "Integrates with personal email accounts" and there's no check mark next to it...

I don't know why that is, but perhaps it relates to a BES setup that has an IT Policy that forbids personal mail.
To my knowledge there are no restrictions on any BB device (except for BES with an IT Policy)....
