During last 2 weeks, I have done 4 Lotus Traveler presentations to different customers.Would like to share what customers asked me during these presentations.
Half of people who come to presentations are IT Security People :))))
Hope this will be useful for some people.
Q0. Supported deviced?
A0. Windows mobile and starting from Jan2009, Traveler 8.5 Nokia Symbian.

Page says only Windows, but it will be updated soon :)
Q1. Does it support encrypted mail?
A1. Yes, Traveler 8.5 supports crypted mails.
More details here: http://infocenters.lotus.com/help7/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.lnt85.doc/Encrypted_email_support.html
Q2. What to do if device is lost/stollen.
A2. Lock and Wipe it remotely. Read my previous post http://www.vlaad.lv/lotus.nsf/dx/traveler-security-in-device-is-loststolen
and also infocenter article http://infocenters.lotus.com/help7/topic/com.ibm.help.lnt85.doc/Remote_Wipe_Lock.html
It is possible to do it in Traveler 8.5
Q3. Does it support Address book?
A3. Yes, it does.
Q3.1. Address lookup from Domino Directory?
A3.1. As far as I know NO, Please comment if I am wrong or 8.5 version has different behavior.
Q4. Supported OS for server
A4. So far Win32 only. hope linux will be soon also available.

Q5. In case customer is running 7.0.3 Domino, and we put additional 8.5 server+Traveler 8.5 in DMZ, will he need an additional Domino licence ???
this Domino 8.5 will run ONLY Traveler service, no Databases/apps on it.
A5. Well, at the moment I am searching for answer, hope some one can share his ideas.
Many customers are on 7.x and this question is rather actual for me.
Will Appreciate any help/ideas.
Q6. If customer has Domino + SameTime, is it ok to put Traveler on top of It?
A6. Here is technote, but I remember that IBM advises to run only ONE advanced product on a server, don't make cocktails on Domino, Like QuickR, SameTime, Traveler and Workflow on one server, and wonder why it does not work...
as well take a look on Ulrich Krause page, it has a lot of valuable info that may help you.

My experience show that after presenting Traveler almost all customer decided to start pilot project, and some finally decided to upgrade from 6.x - > 8.x, or from 7.x to 8.x.
