We don't allow personal BB on the enterprise. If you don't control user's ability to install 3rd party applications, a user could upload their business contacts and calendars to FaceBook or other social networking site?
Are there any known security vulnerabilies with BlackBerry device that can be installed with a 3rd Party Application? -Dzung ________________________________ From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com] On Behalf Of Todd R.

The only thing I force on BB's is a signature from our company. Else they have free reign of whatever they want to do. Unless you work for the gov. or don't own your own BB, I would expect many others to be like this also.
