In particular, users praised Pocket Outlook's setup wizard. According to Strategy Analytics "user experience analyst" Paul Brown, "Participants showed a strong preference for an on-device wizard approach to email setup. Step-by-step guidance through the setup process makes it very difficult for participants to actually go wrong."

In contrast, "None of the participants were able to setup an email account on the BlackBerry device without assistance," added Kevin Nolan, director of the Strategy Analytics's User Experience Labs. "Every participant felt it was counterintuitive to be required to access the web browser in order to setup a new email account."
