Use your phone for work email? Your employer can erase it

Recent BlackBerry smartphone models such as the Z10 or Q10 get around this by providing Personal and Work profiles. This means that employers can erase the Work profiles on the phone, leaving the Personal profile intact.

AFAIK, they are the only mobile OS supplier that provides this functionality so far. I don't own or use a BlackBerry, but my friends recently showed me this feature. Evidently there are some pain points to this, such as notifications not crossing profile boundaries. Thus, if you happen to be in Work mode, you'd have to switch to Personal mode throughout the day to see if you received any emails or [SMS|app] notifications.

Of course, this is probably the only way to enforce cross-mode/profile separation, but in practice it sounds like a PITA -- at least until you leave employment and your Work profile is erased.
