( the reason that I'm not running it is not that I'm 'silly' but the Cloudmark anti-spam service on my exchange box was crashing and I didn't want add to it's problems. Installing BES is on my list of things to do however) I still feel than the service providers should have a solution in place for erasing the data on lost / stolen phones. What about the the growing numbers of iPhone users for example? I think not having a solution in place by these people is negligent to say the least. I'm glad to hear that MS and Nokia have such things in place but you would never know this when talking to Vodaphone business. Another good reason for reading PcPro to find out about what is happening in the mobile arena. Now what is the name of the guy who writes that excellent column ? ;) Thanks for the reply Paul, I know that the Blackberry system when running BES will do this.

It's a core part of the device OS. Are you running BES? (As a business user it's silly not to). If so, you have full remote control over your old phone from the BES admin application. If you're using BIS then your network has the same facilities from their end. Your plea to the phone providers is interesting. Both Microsoft and Nokia have readily available solutions for business mobile fleets, allowing you to nuke lost phones. The gap is probably in the unmanaged phone space, typicaly those used by consumers rather than businesses.
