Having a problem with Blackberry email and a redirect page.  
Situation: A link is sent in an email to a Blackberry. The link is to
a redirect page (html/javascript) that determines whether the person
is coming from a Blackberry browser or a regular browser and then uses
window.location.replace to redirect to a browser specific page.  
Problem:  when clicking the link in the Blackberry, the
window.location.replace does not work.  The redirect page still shows
up in the the Blackberry browser history.  Thus, if you hit the 'back'
button in the Blackberry, you keep getting bounced to the redirect
page (and can never get back to your Blackberry email).  

(If you open the Blackberry browser first and then manually type the
redirect page in, everything works fine.  It's the Blackberry email
that seems to be the culprit by putting that redirect page in the
browser history).

I have no experience with Blackberry browsers, but if they work
like computer browsers, yes, the redirect URL goes into the 
browser history, but if you simply hit back twice, very quickly,
you'll go back to the page before the redirect.

Let me know where this takes you...
