I don't deal with licensing matters much, but I had an experience the other day that's relevant to this discussion: a client that I do a bit of consulting work for had a Blackberry. He uses a hosted Exchange account, and wanted to get it to sync. To sync a Blackberry with this hosted Exchange account would cost him another $9.95/month above and beyond the $8.95/month he's already paying for the hosted Exchange account. A Windows Mobile device would sync for free. So when it comes down to cost advantages, Windows Mobile has it over RIM.

I can tell. It's OK, I have a lot of frustration with Windows Mobile as well...
