I didn't sign up, but I did go through the process to see if what you responded with was true. With that said, I clicked on the 'Add to Cart' for both the Exchange 2007 and BlackBerry Enterprise Server products (two items total in my shopping cart). The sub-total was $26.90 ($19.95 for Exchange, $6.95 for BES). I then added the BBFREE promo code and the total dropped to $0.00.

Would I personally trust a third-party hosting provider for my email and BlackBerry services? No. See, there's an issue with privacy. Giving someone access to not only my email but also my text messages and PIN messages and phone call logs just doesn't appeal to me. Granted, I nor anyone else can prove that this is what's going on, however it is very possible to enable this level of privacy logging without the end user knowing. That's just a leap of faith that I wouldn't be willing to take.
