He is. If you don't need the Enterprise functionality and know the server will never grow beyond 30 users, get the Pro. Be aware however, there is *NO* Upgrade path from Pro to Enterprise.

I thought the deal was 99/user but our vendor wants 1100.00 for BES+5 which I think hes selling us the wrong software for our needs.

J https://www.blackberry.com/express/ Also, they are giving out the same deal with Blackberry Pro; free + 1 cal http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/server/offers/professional_express.jsp From: Mark Boersma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 9:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: BB Professional Software The BB enterprise works in "small business" mode if you have less than 15 licenses. The download and the first license are free and then $99 each up to the 15 mark. You could do the 4 of them for $300.

From: Benjamin Zachary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 12:14 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: BB Professional Software I have a client with the top 4 execs want their BB's to do full wireless sync (Calendar/Contacts etc) the rep tried to sell them Enterprise for Small Business (1100.00) but I see theres Blackberry Professional which is 499.00 for the same 5 users. They don't really need any of the advanced functions, just as long as all the items wireless sync (unlike the personal s/w where just email works) http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/professional/#tab_tab_compare This shows the comparison but doesn't mention whether it does a full sync or not.
