The minute you connect your BlackBerry to their network, these policies are enforced. They are not for spite. They are to enforce company policies. You have a choice - don't connect to their BES, or play by their rules.
Thanks for that info NJBlackberry. If I had known that I would have bought an iPhone and just asked the company to give me a blackberry. That information should be spelt out to any prospective blackberry purchaser - these policies have the potential to completely invalidate 90% of the reasons anyone would buy one of these things for personal use.

What a very sad and sterile world we are coming to - overrun by lowest common denominator ass covering policy.
