Do yourself a favor and turn that policy on, don't let users install third party software. Do you plan on supporting every BlackBerry based application, theme, wallpaper, or ringtone available? You will cause yourself so much more work if users install anything they want. Want proof? Just look around the themes forum and see how often people have problems after loading xyz theme.

I support about 1200+ (and growing) BlackBerry users and this policy has not been a problem except for 3 or 4 users. These users tried to run the issue up the flag pole but it didn't do them any good. Recently we did create a second policy that allowed associated users to install software. But this policy is being limited to application developers and pilot users.

If the users buy their own BlackBerry then the issue becomes a little more complicated. If the company owns the devices, crush them with your network nazi fist!
