One of the justifications for my company's move to Exchange was it's
integration with Blackberries. Riled most of the techies in our
predominantly UNIX based company. Exchange Calendar facilities are
pathetic, loathed by all techies in the company as far as I can tell (at
least our old Netscape calendar system recorded pending but not confirmed
appointments.)

What did you integrate with, BTW, out of interest?
