Default Filter by category in OWA: possible?

I've created a "Favorite Public Folder" calendar for my medical practice
partnership that shows who's on call, who's on vacation, who's away for a
meeting, etc. Altogether I've created about 6 "Activity Type" color-coded
categories.

One of my partners asked if she could customize the view so it shows only
her own activities. I know that in full Office Outlook I can filter the view
by category, so I could add non-color-coded categories for each of our 4
docs, and then she could drill down through the ViewCurrent ViewCustomize
Current ViewFilter byMore options menus/dialogs to get where she wants,
but I don't think this is available in OWA; I suspect the view is even LESS
customizable on mobile devices (hers is a Blackberry, which I think adds a
whole other major wrinkle, because last time I checked, pushing stuff like
this from SBS 2008/Exchange 2007 to the Blackberry platform would create a
drain on our budget because of the need to install a push server for the
Blackberry device itself into SBS/Exchange).

So, 2 questions: can a viewer seeing the calendar on a laptop/deskto via OWA
filter its view by categories?

Second: am I right about the expense of making calendar views available on
the Blackberry?

Thanks so much,
Jim Robertson

Outlook Web Access is part of Exchange and is not Outlook. Ask OWA questions
in microsoft.public.exchange.clients
