Wow, that HTC TyTN looks fantastic!

It's a very nice piece of kit. But see below.

Is it as easy to integrate that "toy" into the SBS2K3 network as the Treo
was?

It should be. I haven't had any serious difficulties.

Note that I don't have direct experience with the TyTN but I do have a user
that swears by its little brother, Qtek 9100. This works very well,
especially for email and/or texting and for navigation using Tomtom
Navigator and a Holux GPSlim 236 Bluetooth GPS. Access to the Exchange
server is made via Wifi (when at home) or via GPRS.

If so, we may have a winner there.

People are different. I don't like the TyTN form factor myself so my own
setup consists of a Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket Loox N560 and a Sony-Ericsson
K800i GSM phone. The latter cannot sync with Exchange server over the
internet but it can pick up mail using either POP3 or IMAP so I have set up
my SBS box to allow that.

BTW, if editing .doc documents and .xls spreadsheets on the PDA is needed,
you should take a look at http://www.softmaker.com. Their products work very
well but they do need a PDA with sufficient horsepower.
