After Windows Mobile 5 enabled PPC/Smartphone(eg:Palm 700W) came out, it has been a nightmare for me.
- There is NO WM5 device that supports remote wipe. If I activate remote wipe, it stops delievering email but it does not wipe out the device.
- Exchange is still relying on SMS to send wireless active sync request to WM5 devices.
(How do I enable direct push?)
- Verizon is giving out CD that has verizon Wireless sync, which can be installed on a PC and push emails from the PC to WM5 device. I have no idea who is using it and if I can remote-wipe that thing if the device is lost.
- There is no password expiration.
- I am considering deploying WM5 and get rid of Blackberry, but it requires technologies like Goodlink(for a good security). I already have a blackberry server and I don't want to support another messaging server. My exchange servers will be NLB/clustered and having non-redundant server is not good.
