No idea, its in beta... but it got me thinking and I just searched and found (then bought for $3.99) this: Called "Find My Phone" Basically, you install it and pick a "codeword." If you lose the phone, simply send yourself a blank email with the subject: codeword start and the phone starts loudly ringing and alarm... Pretty cool... http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/4670

Should an iPhone user ever lose their phone, there are a few things that management worries about (I had to dig into some past emails to gather data on this…if these issues are outdated please let me know!) Find my Phone can be disabled to prevent us from sending a wipe command For an iPhone to receive a Remote Wipe – you need to be connected to the internet. Removing the SIM card takes the phone off the grid.

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).

Coincidentally, they were the same managers who 2 years ago drove the decision to switch from Palm Treos to BB. Of course, when they drove the BB decision, they had no idea about the task of deploying BES, they just think a phone is a phone from an IT perspective. In the two years since I have deployed BES and taught myself how to use it, I think it is one of the best decisions they made for me. No more running to desks to fix one phone at a time. My personal phone is the HTC Evo. I love the phone. But I don't want to support individual phones again. I just don't have the resources, and don't want to take a step backwards in efficiency. Whether you have faced the issue with iPhones or Android, I am looking for suggestions on how you resisted management pressure to support these non-enterprise phones. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. [email protected] Philadelphia, PA 19144 267-615-3172 _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list [email protected] http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins --------------------------------- Bes-Admins mailing list is sponsored by Dataoutagenews.com. http://www.dataoutagenews.com _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list [email protected] http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins --------------------------------- Bes-Admins mailing list is sponsored by Dataoutagenews.com. http://www.dataoutagenews.com Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
