In fact, the AES-256 bridge possibly means even -faster- adaption as opposed to all native apps. Big corps would insist on all sorts of due diligence and ridiculous testing for a brand new model connecting to their BES (I've seen how long a certain company to get the 9700 approved...). With the BB bridge, way less silliness to go through.

Actually if a company is already paying for your blackberries data plan it may not like to pay for another blackberry device. But if you can use your phone a a bridge and save the need to have another data plan I think it is an excellent idea.
