As much as I'd like to believe that they'll screw this up, what is your source for them requiring a Windows Mobile device?
The licensees for ActiveSync - including email - are Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and others. They're not making Windows Mobile devices and have no roadmap to do so. They're very much married to Symbian.
I don't think your statement is accurate.

The collaboration between the two companies will allow Nokia to build a direct over-the-air synchronization link between Nokia enterprise mobile devices running on Nokia's Series 60 and Series 80 software platforms and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 for email and other personal information management (PIM) data, such as calendar information and contacts. By integrating the Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol into Nokia devices, enterprise customers are provided with an easy-to-use, secure, wireless email solution that is cost-effective and can be deployed quickly and easily. Nokia will continue to support the OMA Data Synchronization protocol and its own Nokia PC Suite, a local connectivity solution that utilizes OMA Data Synchronization for PCs and Nokia mobile devices.

They say it will work on Series 60 and Series 80; and not Windows Mobile.
