Corporate IT is narrow-minded, xenophobic and more times than not just plain dumb. That is the problem when you hire business majors to make computer decisions. Now that I have pissed off every Corporate IT lackey on Engadget, Oh wait...

Why can't they just make an IT rule to disable the camera, just like they disable service books and the like. So the guy who controls the BES server, can turn off the camera and the only way to re-enable it is to push a blank IT policy to it. Wow - that was so hard.

Even though that would just stop the employees that use corporate blackberries from stealing their own companies secrets on that phone. I don't know about you, but I have a work cell and a personal cell and my personal cell has a camera too.

Pathetic really...
