Accessing OWA from a Cell Phone Browser.

[irbk]

I have a new user that is just starting with the company and is already being a "fey-fey duh pee-yen". He doesn't want a blackberry but still wants remote access to his e-mail via a cell phone. We have OWA set up and it runs like a dream. I know that MS is pretty picky about the browsers they support connecting to OWA. What I'm not sure of is if there are any cell phone browsers out there that can access OWA. Anyone know of a specific cell phone (Nextel/sprint service providers) that can access OWA and be able to read/reply/send new messages with?

Thanks in advance.

Exchange 2003 has Outlook Mobile access built in

http://mailserver/oma

- it's an interace built specifically for mobile devices!

I run on a non-default port. for example to access webmail on a normal PC it would be somthing like

http://webmail.DomainName.com:8765/webmail

Also, is this OMA something that needs to be enabled or if webmail is enabled it's enabled?

Ok, so I did a search on the web for Exchange 2003 and OMA. Ran across a little article on how to set it up. So, I followed there instructions. Now, if I go to

http://webmail.DomainName.com:8765/oma

I'm prompted for a username and password. I put them in. I get redirected to some weird URL like

http://webmail.DomainName.com:8765/oma/(dhq0tgn5s54wkqbmi4p)/oma.aspx

then I get this error
"A system error has occurred while processing your reuest. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator."
I tried talking to the administrator, however, since I'm the administrator, all I accomplished was talking to myself and people giving me weird looks. Any advice on where to look next?
Thanks again in advance.

Hi,
I have SE P910i with Opera 8 installed and have never had any problems viewing OWA. Very easy to setup & install.
