A lot of people like k9mail.  I tried it, but prefer the HTC client that
came with my Evo for exchange, and the gmail client for my personal
accounts.  

A lot of this discussion has centered on remote wipe, but I want to
reiterate that centralized management is my concern.  I have a small
installation, probably 40 BBs started with BPS 20 months ago, and moved
to BES about 6 months ago when we outgrew BPS.  

Phones are just a part of my job.

I used to support Treos.  With the Treos I could spend hours on a single
phone problem, and these problems occurred at the rate of 2 a week
average.  Since adopting a BB server solution, I probably have only had
a single individual phone problem that didn't involve activation.  The
rest have all been global (CDO and MAPI) that I could fix centrally and
easily.

Probably my most frequent service call comes from people asking if they
need to change their BB password when they change their network
password.

I don't want to go back to the situation I had with Treos.  With my
workload, I can't afford to.  I can honestly say that, among my systems
responsibilities, BES is the most stable technology that I use.
