Having never bought a Blackberry I couldn't say for certain but my assumption is they're charging you for the data plan which seems reasonable to me.
You will need to pay for the BES server license plus the BES device CALs (or whatever they call them precisely). There is a cheaper BES "Pro" version (BPS or something) which is missing some useful features, otherwise you're on the hook for the full BES. BlackBerry is not a cheap service to offer.

Our sales guys are getting new Nextel Blackberry's. I want to look into setting up our own Blackberry server. Nextel is telling us that it will cost $20/month per phone to use the phones with an in-house Blackberry server. Is this what you are paying also? Doesn't this make it cost prohibitive to have an in-house Blackberry server?
