BES is just a lot easier to manage and Apple and Windows have a ways to go to catch up to RIM. We looked at http://trustdigital.com/product/devices.php for a solution to secure iPhone's and Android's.

I would actually preferr them to a Windows Mobile phone. My biggest gripe with iPhones/Windows Mobile phones is that we cannot secure them to my liking using out Exchange 2003 environment, hence we converted to BES about a year ago. - Chris On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 2:55 PM, Eggan, Mark <mark.eg...@countyofnapa.org> wrote: "Why don't we have iPhones"! That is the issue that we have here. The ATT network in Napa, CA isn't the best...once iPhone goes to Verizon (3Q of 2010), I know I'll get more calls on the iPhone. Just can't see a work-related issue to get iPhones working on our network. Not to mention, Im an Apple Fanboy...still, no reason to get it set up here.

We do not let anyone install software on their computers, so we extend the same policy to our mobile devices. Our policy is just as restrictive as Dzung's, plus we block BIS. Everyone (including myself) has all the tools they need to perform their job using this policy. The only complaint I have heard is "Why don't we have iPhones"! :) - Chris On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 2:41 PM, Todd R.
