This is from the BES Security Technical Overview [1 p.30] [pdf]:

    Before the BlackBerry device sends a message, it 
    compresses and encrypts the message using the device 
    transport key. When the BlackBerry Enterprise Server 
    receives a message from the BlackBerry device, the 
    BlackBerry Dispatcher decrypts the message using the 
    device transport key, and then decompresses the message.
Doesn't that mean that BES has the plaintext?

BES has the plaintext, but where is BES located?
