RIM’s BlackBerry Protect Out of Beta

Research in Motion has officially released the final version of its BlackBerry Protect app for the BlackBerry. The application consists of a suite of tools designed to protect devices in the event of loss, theft and complete data protection. The app is free and ties into a dedicated portal to access the aforementioned data wipe and device location functionality, while backups can be scheduled to avoid data usage while roaming. One caveat for usage is that it cannot be used with BES/Express accounts.
