Your BlackBerry contains lots of useful business and personal information - that’s why you bought one. But if your BlackBerry is lost or stolen, that information could be compromised. If you have a corporate BlackBerry connected to a Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES), your IT folks will almost certainly use its Remote Wipe feature to nuke your BlackBerry remotely in the event that it is reported lost or stolen. If your BlackBerry is not connected to a corporate Blackberry Enterprise Server, you can accomplish the same thing with a little $9.95 BlackBerry App from roblock.

Once this app is installed, you have a number of theft recovery features available remotely should your phone be lost or stolen. You can track it by GPS or cell tower location, can cause it to emit a high-pitched alarm, can disable it, or wipe it. There are also remote backup options available for a monthly fee.
