It was much easier to prevent this when most calls traversed the relatively closed TDM networks, but with IP-based calling, there is no definitive way of determining who originated the call. With only an IP address and a SIP header, which can be manipulated with ease, it's technically difficult to lock this stuff down.

If you accept this statement, then don't be surprised when companies don't want to train people. If you were the manager for a dept and need to interview then fully train someone only to see that "improved" worker immediately take their skills elsewhere, forcing you to start the process over, what would you do? I'd bet you'd wait and look for those people that other companies trained first. It make business sense. I'm not condoning corporations actions in this equation, but it is what it is.

I didn't miss anything. It was Sprint branded which means it's sold in Sprint retail only, not their MNVO resellers.

I know as of last month that Sprint didn't even have any WP7 on their handset roadmap, so unless they are planning to sell them retail only, they aren't really interested in them.

Maybe instead of flying over the midwest, you stop by and see that wind mills are all over the place. I'm in Iowa and live 5 miles away from a nuclear plant. That smoke you are seeing? It's coming from Appalachia.

If these are company blackberrys then you are probably screwing up by telling people to back up their contact information. Many times IT departments are informed first, so that kind of information can not be backed up, particularly in cases of sales personnel or anyone who could take those contacts/emails to a competitor

Yes, but one would hope that any company allowing said laptop to connect to their company VPN has local policies/software in order to minimize the infection risk. Yes, split tunneling is a larger security risk, but those risks can be mitigated.

This is true and I every time I set up of a VPN for someone I mention this. That said, for many people, they are likely VPN'd in order to access certain files while needing access to the internet. Browsing through most company VPN connections is painfully slow and inefficient.
