Well, in this case it is easier, as N900 clearly has different set of features than crackberry: it has got a much bigger and nicer screen and a bigger keyboard to go with it. Once you implement push email from corporate Exchange servers to N900, you have got a valid offer to make to the suits. Besides, there is way more to N900 business use cases than simply a crackberry replacement.
