It seemed lower to me, when I read the pricing information.

If you are planning on ever deploying more than 30 phones or not in an SBS environment or want MDS, you should always just go with Enterprise on its own box, even if it's just an old used PC.

Here is a product comparison. http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/professional/#tab_tab_compare Professional is essentially for smaller deployments. It's like BES SBS. It won't support over 30 BB devices. From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 12:07 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Blackberry question Can anyone tell me how the Blackberry Professional Software stacks up against BES? I'm being asked to give a comparison between the WinMobile devices we're using, and Blackberry devices. If the execs decide to go with Blackberry against my recommendations, I'd prefer to go with the Professional software, if it will meet our needs. I'm looking at the Blackberry website currently, but would like to hear personal, real world experiences, vs. the sales info on the site.
