USING RIM Blackberries at UW (OBSOLETE)

Here we will gather notes on selecting, purchasing and configuring RIM Blackberries. While many faculty may purchase a Blackberry on their own, support staff may be requested to be involved. This page can hopefully be used, as well, as a "self serve" document for anyone on campus who needs more information on setting up a Blackberry before or after they purchase one.
