BlackBerry® Professional Software and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express

I am interested in the Blackberry Unite software and service.  Where do I get it and sign up?  Has it been discontinued?

Yes, it is rumored that BPS will be discontinued.

really? when?

Is the Blackberry Unite software and service part of Blackberry Professional?  I remember reading on a blog somewhere that Unite was free and that it might be good for families also.

Here's the blog article about it's demise... again all rumor. RIM has not confirmed it...

well, i just got a quote for BPS and they didnt say that it is on the way out.  then again, i dont expect them to, they just want to make money.

i just watched the demo for unite, it looks like it can support 5 users only.  i dont have a problem with that, however, i wanted to make sure that i have my facts straight...

unite- 5 users

BPS- up to 30 users

BES- 30 users or more

Thanks.
