Today, we announced that Microsoft’s Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Services for Exchange Online will be free moving forward.
In other words, if you want to use Microsoft’s Exchange Server 2010 implementation in our datacenters for your company’s email services, and you have BlackBerries, you can anticipate being able to hook them up to your “Exchange Online” subscription at no additional charge from Microsoft.
Quote from Office 365 blog:
We have exciting news for Microsoft Online Services customers. We are in the process of updating pricing for Hosted BlackBerry Service for Exchange Online to make this service available free of charge. Starting today, BlackBerry mobile e-mail for new Exchange Online customers is now free through our Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS). For existing customers, we expect to be able to provide more information later this month on how you can take advantage of this change.
In addition, Hosted BlackBerry service will be available for free with Office 365 after it launches later this year.
