I work for Goliath National Bank. We have the option of being assigned a Blackberry or BYOD. I choose BYOD
I use a google voice number that I direct to my cell phone for work. When I leave the company I can change the google voice number or choose to keep it if I don't mind staying in touch with people I've networked with. As an employee of Goliath National Bank, I get a %20 discount on my cell phone bill every month, and they give me $25 a month towards my bill for selecting the BYOD option. In exchange, I have loaded an app called "Good for Enterprise" [http://www.good.com]. They have access to the data in that one app, but not to anything else on my phone. Through the app I can get my corporate email, calender, etc.
So.. I think the BYOD option works well. I don't give up rights to my phone, and Goliath National Bank can log communications done through my corporate email account using their app.
