[X4U] What Phone.....

[Andrew Lynch]

Hi Nick,
   Thanks much for the on subject response :-)  If I get a company  
supported phone, they pay for it and the service, and I get my corp  
email and personal email on the device.  I get a non company supported  
phone, I pay for it and the service, and only get personal email on  
it.  Getting my corp email on my phone is not a must have, but it is  
quite useful, and free is good....


Cheers,
   Drew
