I agree, and recently have been discussing this very thing with a chap
whose work Blackberry is so locked down that he has to BYOD for any
non-core work activities like looking up travel times when en-route from
one client to another.
Of course, that's just an instance of your second bullet below, as long
as they are "managed" to allow that kind of app (which is by no means
clear all smartphone platforms have a useful scheme for):
>As far as I can see organisations have three policy choices:
>*) give people jobs they can do from the office, during office hours
>*) issue a full set of managed mobile devices to those who are expected
to work outside those places/times
>*) develop a BYOD policy
