Friend of mine works at a law firm that is considering switching to the Treo's and is waiting for the BB software to go gold. My company only does BB for mobile mail (no POP) so this will be a boon for me. I'd pay for the software outright just to get connected, but I'd like to convince them to pay for it and the BB licenses for all our Treo users.
