finch, I apologize for stating this here, but its worth it for the cause...
ace_2005, you know... you are truly amazing. I just got to reading through some of your posts, from the one where you were concerned about your company switching to GoodLink from BES to the others where you said that I was pro-BB and not telling the truth about upgrading from BES 3.6 to BES 4.0, etc. Oh yeah, I forgot the one where you stated that you worked for one of the largest brokerage companies in the nation.

Is Good really competing with RIM?

Our CIO sees me a someone who wants to protect my job and not be in the best interests of the company. Have any of you experienced this? Should I have allowed our company to demo their product before they went above my head?

First off, to answer the latter quote, in my environment, it required a month of testing, a week of meetings, and about 30 minutes for an upgrade from 3.6 to 4.0 in our production environment. The only money spent was none, as the upgrade was free and the same hardware (which was already beefy enough) was used. I have plenty of experience with the upgrade process, which is why I've commented as much. As for being 'pro-BB' what the hell do you think people come to
BlackBerryForums.com for? To be told not to use BlackBerry devices and to switch to GoodLink-compatible devices? Get real, bub.
My whole point in this post is that perhaps you should have been one of the people that Good Technology laid off for surfing the internet and posting on forums while on the job.
Pretending that you're someone else, in a situation that you weren't in, all for the purposes of promoting your own product... how pathetic?!
Just a hint, if you want to pretend that you work for a company that you don't and that you are implementing a solution that your actual company designs and manufacturers (in this case, GoodLink), then don't post from your damn company behind your damn company firewall that can easily be traced back to Good Technology.
