We do, but we are MobikeIron reseller/integrator so we work with clients on COPE and BYOD programs. It's more of a cultural change than anything else.
The California ruling on getting email after hours on a personal phone and having yo get paid for it doesn't help much. With proper communication, accounting, software and policies, BYOD is very simple and efficient.

I have my cel number on my business card. I can write anything I want on the card. I can aslo get my company email on my personal cel phone.
Should this have been a poll?

Wrote a lot of policies on this recently...best practice is to get out of the personal technology business as much as possible. The latest policy I wrote was a BYOD with a monthly allowance and provision for expensing material overages for business purposes.
IT sets the standard (iPhone, BBY) and must allow remote wipe and duty to inform if device is lost. My next step is a la Mercedes and VW, block email access 30 minutes after scheduled work end, re-enable 30 minutes before regular work start and delete all vacation emails. Got to get staff out of the work mindset and have personal lives, balance and so forth as they are more productive animals when they are rested, relaxed and well laid. Dennis |

Company owned phone. No personal devices allowed. None. You can't even connect personal devices to the wireless, and you can't forward all your mail to a personal device.
Someone here wanted to use a new Blackberry he received as a gift. He had to sign the phone over to the company....

Company use of personal devices isn't allowed - no email forwarding and most likely call forwarding as well. Personal devices can't access the wireless network on site either. My personal mobile is more or less useless at work anyway since it can only pick up a signal outdoors. They also changed rules this year so that phone use of any kind isn't allowed while walking unless you use a bluetooth headset like people had 10 years ago. Higher-ups offered a blackberry a couple of times but I declined. The phone they gave me is a good enough leash; I don't need anyone expecting that I look at emails before/after hours.

The other option was to have a work-only phone (that has to be approved on a case by case basis), and I don't want to carry 2 phones.

Back when I worked for someone else, I was eligible for a company cell phone. I didn't want to carry two devices, so I opted to use my own. It was one of the first truly smart phones out there, Palm Treo (various - 600, 650 and 680).
I worked with Corporate IT to activate the Outlook/Exchange server features so that the phone would be able to get corporate e-mail. They had OWA already activated, but needed to activate another feature to allow the phone to have full access, been too long to remember the name. This was around 2005. One of the coolest things I did was to setup a Bluetooth WAP in my office so that my phone could connect to the network and operate faster, without having WiFi (Treo 600) and with the WiFi turned off (Treo 650 and 800).

^ I think it's called ActiveSync. It has been invaluable for me to have a unified calendar and contacts list that auto-syncs between phone, ipad and several computers. It would really suck to have to carry multiple phones.

Yep, that was it. It is part of the OWA system and just a feature that had to be turned on. Took me months to convince the Corporate IT department to turn it on. And I was the test case...
