Welcome to the world of Blackberry. And ActiveSync is still nowhere close.
You're right. EAS is better.
No Security is good?
haha...I think I was on your side of this argument a year ago or so. SSL is good enough for your online financial transactions but not your email?
Got Device Policies? Triggered Pull is ok for you?
Limited, to be expanded in Exchange 2007 (not thrilled about that).
DirectPush is not triggered pull.
Got a link for the Direct Pull claim? (I just want to understand)

While it is not push in the sense that BES is (and can't be without the network RIM has backing it), note that the heartbeat is not a trigger. It simply maintains the HTTPS connection between the device and Exchange server. In practice (we sync Blackberries via BES and WinMo devices via EAS simultaneously on our network as well as simultaneously or separately on our clients' networks), there is no difference. Incoming emails appear on WinMo devices faster than in Outlook inboxes in cached Exchange mode. Sent items go out immediately. Other Outlook items are synced immediately. Ok, there is one drawback, notes require a wired sync to a desktop because of voice notes. I'm interested to see how Blackberries will handle this as the 4.2 OS is supposed to support voice notes.
Just to let you know, I don't really think EAS is a "better" technology than push via BES. I just know what a rabid fanboy you are and wanted to draw you into a discussion.
