The senior executive team at my company are all on Blackberry devices. At the president's insistence we also installed Blackberry Enterprise, which "integrates" (in a somewhat procrustean manner) with our Exchange server, so that their corporate e-mails are available to them on their Blackberry devices.
So for us, switching to another platform will be a major pain.
It has to be said that the Treo has a larger form factor than the Blackberrys we currently have deployed, and that will not make my customers happy. "Push" e-mail from the Exchange server was the "killer app" - if any competing product does not have it, than it is not a competing product.
There's a sick part of me that really wants to see RIM get shut down. If enough business and government customers get seriously inconvenienced by this, perhaps someone in authority will finally notice that the patent system is screwed up and try to do something about it. I doubt it, but hey - dreaming is free.
