We've obviously had an issue with people not being told they are limited with memory - even moreso because the device has 10 million languages you will never use - and they end up taking 40 photos and *bam* - "Where did all of my emails go?"

Just curious what other companies are doing prior to end-users receiving devices, if anything - uninstalling default software, training end-users, purchasing memory cards?
Yep. I have a machine setup with generally something near the latest OS load from some other carrier and when we get a new BB or user in the BB first gets updated there. Within the same process I removed the languages, sample video, PTT app, etc. The benefit to users is they have a newer OS than shipped on their device and all carriers themes to play with out of the box. Though we are a 55 ish employee company. i wouldn't do it at 100+ probably.

Exactly the same setup I'm doing. But we're a 5000+ employee government entity. Once the process is in place, it's not so bad. I can set a device to reload the newer OS than what was shipped. My personal "internal timer" knows when it finishes so I can multitask while it's running.
