Remzi did a really nice review on AstraSyn Exchage application which lets the user do OTA Syncing of your emails, calendar & contacts on a regular BIS plan. One thing that is really nice about this application is that is a one year fee of $49.00 VS. Paying a monthly fee to your carrier for BES and a monthly fee for Exchange hosting.
You can sign up for a free 7 day trial at this link
A few features from the product description are:
- Synchronizes Email Calendar and Contacts over-the-air
- Requires simple one time configuration
- Connect via BIS, BES, WAP, TCP or WiFi
- Supports SSL secured HTTPS connections
- Uses the native BlackBerry calendar and contacts apps
- Full native look and feel email client
- Full folder support – Sync multiple folders, move & copy messages
- Full attachment support – send, receive and smart reply
- HTML email viewer
- Accept and decline meeting requests
- Client side search
- Multi and group message select
- Global Address List support
- Local and Global contact lookup and auto complete
- Message flag support
- Synchronization schedule
- Audio and vibration new message alert
- Configurable Synchronization window (period)
- Exchange Policy Support
- Inactivity security lock
- Doesn’t rely on or need BIS or BES
- Dramatically lower costs and more reliable than BES
- And more!

Would love to win this, I tried the last version through the trial period and it was perfect. I just couldnt swing the price at the time. I am looking to switch to an android phone for the active sync. Juist need AT&T to get a decent phone in that uses active sync, a HD2 or a powerful Droid phone.

Currently using BIS for work email so I have to make changes on both device and desktop. It would be great to have them sync. I’m going to try the trial and may even buy it if I don’t win…but I hope I do!
