[QUOTE="MattSharp, post: 769571, member: 22022"] I recently discovered that my company will allow my phone to be setup with work e-mail via ActiveSync. It would be nice to have work e-mail and calendar on my phone all the time, but I am thinking there might be downsides. I know the obvious one, that they have the ability to remote wipe my phone at any time. This only mildly worries me, because what if it's done at an inopportune time on accident or something? Otherwise, it's added safety, knowing that I could have my phone remote wiped if I ever lost it. One of my major questions is, will enabling this give my company access to anything else on my phone? Will they be able to view anything but e-mail/contacts/calendars they provide, i.e. my personal contacts? What about text messages, email, etc.? Anything else I should know? [/QUOTE]
