Well I think its a great step. But the HVAC needs to be efficent too (maybe more so) . It would make significant improvements to the energy use if the cooling systems were slightly smarter and the build design took it into account, add solar power to that and its a winner.
I am lumbered with a BB torch, now. One of thos annoying BBs with a small and recessed keyboard and I am about 2 hours away from switching back to my Bold 9000.
The vpn into the BES network is excellent for sysadmins allows access to internal URLs too so I can get to my nagios/cacti/RT interfaces as well as those for the networking kit and anything else with a webui I can do a decent amount of troubleshooting and repairs from my BB and if I can't fix it with it I know what I have to fo by the time I get to my PC or into the office.
Even with the hours of wasted time talking to the Telco when they screw up the BES plan every 6-12 months (Optus) these have saved me countless hours and trips into the office.
P4 is fast but don't be mistaken it too has some reasonable failings
is performance/reliability is terrible over a WAN lacks an integrated secure communicaiton system no disconnected operation no archive/shelving operations
