Thanks again - great info. One last question, I promise. I have blackberry
that I also use for phone service. I realize my work emails would be
monitored, as would other outlook apps that are running through my work
outlook app but what about other applications on the phone that are not part
of my office's systems -- ie my personal phone log, my internet browser, i
have a gmail app that lets me read personal gmails, etc. Is it possible that
they have something on my phone that logs all of my phone app usage and can
monitor, etc?
