As far as security goes, I dont see how removing the sim from a blackberry is any different. You simply cannot wipe a phone after it has been unplugged from the network.
But what makes Blackberry such a nice corp phone is the combo of remote wipe and local wipe after X amount of password attempts. That way even if the phone is unplugged it will wipe if 'brute forced'. ------------------------------------------ Josh Armour MobileOps - Sysadmin [email protected] (541) 205-4262 ------------------------------------------ On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 8:14 AM, Eggan, Mark <[email protected]>wrote: > Well Art...I have been trying to get these phones supported actually at our > work (local County government). > > I can give you the reasons that Management has given us as to why we will > not support them.. > > Manpower - we don't have the manpower to learn a new OS (or multiple OS). > Security - Cannot remote wipe these phones if SIM Card is removed PRIOR to > your organization getting the 'kill command' out to the phone. > > > Thank you, > Mark > x8142 > Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this > e-mail > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Art Alexion > Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 8:07 AM > To: A_List_for_BES_Admin's_to_discuss issues > Subject: [Bes-admins] Droid X > > I am starting to get pressure from some top level managers to support > these.
