Your best choice for your size deployment is BlackBerry Enterprise Server SMB Edition for MS Exchange, includes 5 user licenses. Cost: $1599/server
For future growth your costs are:
1 Additional Client Access License Cost: $399/license. or
5 Additional Client Access Licenses Cost: $1599/pack
You can have up to a maximum of 50 users on the SMB edition of BES.
For larger deployments you have to move up to the Enterprise edition: starting at $7999.00 for first server license including 20 client access licenses.
Add to this your hardware costs, maintainance, management & upgrades etc. You can download a Ipsos-Reid white paper from RIM's website which covers the TCO for BB
