Roland Reddekop has posted a great entry titled Mainstreaming Lotus Notes in 2009. It is well worth your read! I will leave you with his two steps that we should leave with and do now!
Strategy A. There needs to be more articles put out in
mainstream publications that clearly and succinctly bring out the
feature/benefits of Notes Domino. Use of graphics, interviews, case
study examples, and convincing arguments need to communicate the
essential benefits of Notes. Emphasize that, as the world has evolved,
so has Notes, especially of late. The frequency of these releases needs
to be high enough so that the average IT professional will run across
4-6 Lotus articles a year minimum, which itself goes a long ways to
demonstrate the legitimacy of the product.
Strategy B. The
Lotus community needs to get involved in commenting on these articles
in a genuine, non-defensive manner. Rebut the argument not the person.
Point out the true benefits you and your org, and your customers have
experienced with Notes Domino and let those speak for themselves.
Engage the trolls only on the concrete points they offer. Ignore the
crude, nonspecific comments which any intelligent reader will bypass
anyway.
Thanks for this Roland - we are on the offensive now and we should act like it!

Ed Brill points out that Sprint announces Mobile Email Work; access Lotus Domino or Exchange. This is really great news!I'm really glad to see that Sprint is going to have mobile mail available for Domino with around a dozen devices (including the ubiquitous RAZR). I will be interested to see how this actually works, technically. Sprint touts that this will be a "push" mail solution (See Nathan's post on push mail) and that software updates on the device will be forthcoming.
After going to the press release that Ed linked to, I clicked through a couple of pages and found that Sprint does have some more information about this at their website. Thankfully the press release (the item that will have the most hits!) mentions Lotus Domino because Sprint doesn't have a word about it at their mobile email site (at least not yet). But I did see this at their site - specific mentioning of Exchange:
Sprint worked with Seven Networks to do this. Seven Networks has some info at their website that there is an Enterprise version available to work with Lotus Domino. I'm presuming that this is how Sprint will be licensing this. I know they've been around for a while, but I've never been familiar with their offerings. Perhaps others have some experience.
By the way, in the US, Seven Networks works with Alltel, AT&T, and Sprint. So the big news on Ed's blog is that Sprint actually mentioned Domino. There's nothing really specific that it appears Sprint is doing in this regard other than licensing and marketing their mobile email product running Seven Networks' software.
And while I'm sure the Instinct is a great device, I'm wondering if Apple already has that market cornered with the iPhone - especially whenever it is available on multiple networks. But time will only tell on that.
