You're confusing:

1: the manual loading of the workaround onto millions of US BlackBerrys + thousands of BES

with

2: how will the users/admins operate the upgraded devices

Did you read the technical change that RIM made to get around the patent dispute? If you did, I don't see how you can even begin to argue that a user or admin would notice it, much less have to make changes in how they operate the BBs or BESs.

#1 is by far the biggest issue that RIM had to consider in regards to this workaround, not the #2 thing that you keep parroting about.
