Adam, 

If you're looking for a similar type of
product/solution, you could try using a palmOne Treo
600 (which comes with a POP3 client) and you could
look at exposing your mailserver's POP3 to the
Internet and have the Treo pull mail at intervals. 
The Treo is available on most cellular networks, and
combines a smartphone with a Palm Powered Organizer. 
You can also send from the Treo using SMTP, and there
is also VPN solutions available for PalmOS, if you
don't want to expose your interfaces to the internet. 
With the existing Palm Support in OGo, this could be
an excellent solution for you.

VPN <-> HotSync <-> OGo nhsd
VPN <-> POP3/SMTP Treo Mail <-> Cyrus Imap/POP3 &
Postfix/EXIM/Sendmail

The Blackberry server software is currently only
available for MS Exchange and Notes/Domino, with
Novell Groupwise coming soon.  RIM's not really that
big into supporting OpenSource software currently,
since they sell the server side software, and for
smaller clients, the are an Application Service
Provider (via the Cellular network companies).  FYI,
RIM will also be releasing a PalmOS client for
Blackberry Server sometime in the future.

If you want to know more about the Treo and how you
might integrate it into your environment, feel free to
contact me off list at mkbrown AT SolutionsAtHand DOT
ca or visit my website at http://SolutionsAtHand.ca 
I'm a consultant and trainer for Palm Powered products
and solutions.  

Hope that helps!
