Nothing... well e-mail, but that's as good as nothing if I'm out of the office.

If I were out the office when something went horribly wrong, I'd expect at least one of my users to do the dutiful thing and call me on my cellphone to tell me they can't do their work. If I didn't get any calls, then I'd just assume the problem wasn't important enough for me to worry about until I got back in.

In other words...

My employers are too cheap to buy me a goddamn BlackBerry! Even when I have a fully functional BES at my disposal! :|
 
they are too cheap to get me a crackberry, instead they get me evdo and a laptop and make me check email frequently. make any sense to me? not really.
 
We run a BES and a Goodlink server. Blackberries and Treo's. Getting the Windows Treo when it's available for other than Verizon service.
 
Blackberry and Smartphone. We also have our desk phones forward to our cells.

Can't run, hide or even pretend. 🙁
 
I use a treo for mananging my own servers. Nice to get notification of a problem and be able to log into them no matter where I am.
