As it is now, 'buyers regret' kicks in every month when I pay for the data plan I need but don't use. Sure WM OS has issues, but I could've used the phone for 1/3 what I'm paying now.
Enough griping. Does BB Connect allow policies to be applied from the BES like with a full BB device? Such as requiring a password and auto-lock, forcing the enabling of a firewall, etc? Our organization is looking to put some controls on smartphone use in the corporation, and it would be useful if we could get our non-Blackberry devices under some kind of policy control.

BBConnect requires a BB data plan, so it doesn't help you there.
Yes, policies are applied to BBConnect, but I assume that there are some policies that don't apply. There is a Blackberry lock on my Tilt that was forced on configuration. If I use the Blackberry browser, it goes through the firm's network. I can even look up e-mail addresses on the firm directory, but it's not as easy as look-up in a real Blackberry.
To be honest, I got the Tilt because I wanted BB connectivity in Japan. When the 9xxx comes out, I'll probably get that.
