If we have users running Windows Mobile 2003, does Exchange SP2 offer them  
  
anything new? Can they benefit from the direct push technology or do they  
  
need the Windows Mobile 5.0 and the Messaging and Security Feature Pack?

Sorry but Exchange SP2 offers no benefit for Windows Mobile 2003.  Windows  
  
Mobile 2003 Phone Edition can still use sms base sync but not the new SP2  
  
sync mechanism.  For Windows Mobile 5 users to really benefit from SP2 they  
  
will need the MS feature pack which isn't out and will be distributed via  
  
the OEMs.

Ay idea when MS will make the feature pack available ?  (I know they have no  
  
control over when the OEMs will !)
