Scalix is on a roll lately! Have just released Scalix 11.4.4 & ActiveSync 1.0, today they announced a beta of Scalix Connect for Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES). Much like Zarafa & Zimbra's BES integration, you can use the Microsoft Exchange version of BES and the BES server won't realize it isn't talking to Exchange. While this makes setuping up BES a little more tricky, it allows a Scalix/BES setup to provide the same level of functionality as Exchange.

"Scalix Connect for Blackberry Enterprise Server provides push email, wireless contact, calendar and task synchronization, meeting scheduling, and remote address book/Global Address List lookup. Scalix now offers a full suite of mobility solutions for its Small Business, Enterprise, and Hosting editions: Scalix ActiveSync, Scalix Connect for Blackberry (beta), and Scalix Mobile Web Client. Together they enable Scalix users to communicate via all popular mobile devices without the need for client side installs."
Forum announcement from Florian (Program Management Director)
"It's almost fully functional as well, email, calendar, contacts, tasks - all are there. The missing bits are support for RIM's latest BES version, V5, so you'll have to stick with V4.1 for the time being, and if you run multiple Scalix servers, you'll have to have a separate BES for each of them. Both restrictions will be lifted in the final 1.0 release, this is currently planned for mid/late Q3, and I think we're on track for that."
