Are there major Problems w/SP2 and ActiveSync (PUSH email)

I am being told by my hosted Exchange ISP. That they do not support true
PUSH functionality, because there are MAJOR problems with AS and PUSH email.

Does anyone know this to be true? Everything I have read shows that this
works just fine.

I would love to hear from an MVP on this.

The only problems are that the phone vendors have only recently
started releasing the MSFP update for the WM5 devices. Can't say much
outside school but the ISP is spinning you a line.

Mark,

Do you know which phone vedors (US based) have released MSFP?

Cuz the ISP is now stating that they will not support DirectPush because no
US vendors are supporting it.

It doesn't matter where the vendor is based, does it? All that matters is if
they have released the updates for their devices.
The ISP is feeding you a line. Push mail works fine. Is it as good as
Blackberry? That's your call.
