What? $120 for the first year and $30 each ongoing? BES Express is no cost for the server software and no cost for the user license, so - I'm sturggling to see how this benefits a company. And, before you throw out the 'yes but the BES data plan is so much more costly than a basic consumer data plan' thing - I can use a consumer data plan with BES Express AND still do an over the air activation.

Yes BES Express does need a physical server to run on, but it can run on a VM or any other virtual machine.

Just don't get why a company or a user would want to use this.

Oh and one more thing - RIM and MSFT have together announced that BB service as part of Office 365 will be FREE. No cost. So.....hmm...

Because not all organizations use exchange. It is also cross platform for those not standardized on BlackBerry. This app is currently our only way to sync calendar and contacts to our phones. Sadly, as the Notify server has been a nightmare to administrate!!
