There is a reason why it is costing so much......

1. The devices themselves are not cheap...

2. They will probably be running a BlackBerry Enterprise Server which costs a few grand, plus 100 dollars per user attached to the server....

3. RIM will not provide technical support to anyone out there with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server unless they have a Technical Support Contract......which in itself cost litterally 10's of thousands/year for support.

This is why it is so expensive.....We are actually lucky they are only saying 200 grand....it will probably be a lot more depending on how many devices they have and what level of support they go with.
