Blackberry Vs active sync (Score 1)

Not doubting MS will own this market eventually, but we are going through the shopping process for mobile devices and the blackberry won.. we can get blackberrys for $99-199 per device, they are much more rugged and durable and dependable. Active Sync has a ways to go before it is that reliable, and all the devices that can use active sync are either to fragile(large screen), too expensive vs the blackberry alternative. At this point Blackberry just works. Blackberry does need to get smart about the BES server pricing in the face of active sync though. Should be free or low one time cost or something along those lines, though they will give you the BES server and limited license as a hook if you work with a sales person.
