On the assumption that "I hope not at all" means you are the Exchange Admin, then do you have the budget/timeframe to push for either a Front-End server into the DMZ, or an upgrade to something that isn't end of life?
If my assumption is wrong, and it isn't just Exchange you are responsible for, then grasp the CLoudy opportunity to move away from creaky old configs, and into a nice cushy Service Management life
In terms of timescales, you could easily push for a migration to run in parallel with the device swaps - it's very very not difficult with tools, and reasonably easy without.

I'm server/storage rather than exchange but exchange is now my responsibility too as its seen we will do better than the last team. I've been using 2k3 since 2004 roughly but I've no experience of anything newer at the moment. Any guidance would be great to implement an 2010/13 mail front end to our existing backend. I have a month roughly till our blackberry contract terminates so I need to be in and testing within 2 weeks really. It will be hosted on ESx I hoping if I can get this in and working we will prove our self's to the buisiness.
Make sure you've got the correct SSL certificates in place and your autodiscover address set up and it *should* be plain sailing.
Use split brain dns so you resolve the internal Exchange server address when on site and the external address when they're roaming.
