Once you install Blackberry Connect, you are forced to disconnect the Activesync for the same component (e.g. you can't activesync both sets of e-mail).
The Blackberry Connection is a separate connection from your regular connection and on the HTC devices that I've played with you could not have both simultaneously active. For example, on my wife's TyTN II she has to manually hold the hangup button for five seconds to break the Blackberry Connection before she can establish a standard data connection. This is very frustrating since the only way we can get her Sametime connection to work is on the non-Blackberry side of the data connection.
On ATT and on US Tmobile, you can access regular data on a Blackberry plan, but as noted above you cannot have both active at once. What I did on my wife's account was to setup a BIS account and pull e-mail from our personal exchange server via IMAP. It was the best I could do.
The only device I've seen that can handle both BES and Activesync is the Nokia E61 and E61i. Roadsync and BES can coexist.
