The good news:

Yes, Hosted Exchange will work on ALL Blackberry devices - No matter the carrier, type of Blackberry or contract - you're Blackberry will support Hosted Exchange.

The bad news:

Being the money sucking machines that they are, most cell carriers will charge an additional monthly fee for Blackberry support. Their reasoning behind this is since Blackberrys sync data in realtime - they use more bandwidth - and as with any other cell phone service, the more you use of something, the more money they want you to pay. Plans typically range from $15/mo. for limited usage, all the way up to $45/mo. for unlimited usage.

The even worse news:

RIM, the parent company of Blackberry wants their cut also. They charge Hosted Exchange Providers a monthly fee just to offer this wireless sync service to their clients. Subsequently the Hosted Exchange Companies pass this cost along to you. Expect to pay about $10/mo./device for this service. (We know, this sucks)
