Don't think it would stop a remote wipe request though.

Does not seem right!

It's still possible to gray-list it with a carrier via IMEI.

Remote wipe is not about getting your phone back. It's about making sure that the information you have on your phone is safe from prying eyes. Same thing as encrypting your laptop's hard-drive. When it's stolen, if you get it back, cool, if not, then you know your information is safe.

Seems like Apple really wants businesses to use the iPhone (this, exhange support, etc).

yeah, i don't think my phone would come back, but at least, i want to be able to wipe my data. i would hate for my emails, colleagues and contacts to be victim to the roving eyes of a digital terrorist. bad and good on apple.
