It would seem from what you are saying that if someone left a BB on a table in a pub for instance, oh say during an FT Do in London, that no random person could pick it up and send sexually explicit propositions to people in the BB address book. And yet, from what I have heard it isnt the case that this cannot be done. At least thats what I have heard.
so, the lockout and wipe feature is certainly not enabled at initialization, but certainly can be. I for one have never had it enabled on my blackberry's, and nobody in my past enterprises has either. I have the feeling, that the password login EACH TIME that this would require is disabled for many corporations and users. I'd be interested to know how many users actually use this.
Point is, password enablement, and local wipe is certainly available either by standard or add-on software on other device types. And, network wipe of missing devices, is certainly available for any device accessing and exchange environment, so I guess that just leaves us with.
message is not encrypted from device to exchange through the air or the cloud? Is that all?
