That was probably their policy and they gave everyone a free Black Berry. Then a few Apple "Fanatics" started whining they wanted to user their UBER sweet iPhones and the company is being racist against their phones if they don't let them use it. The company gives in after all the whining but the policy regarding a phone being used with their exchange server never changes. And so the policy stands that they can wipe any phone that was had connected to their server.
That is EXACTLY how my company is handling it - most users have been given BBs, but most of the artsy-fartsy graphic designers want iPhones. Since the smarter ones could figure out how to connect their ActiveSync we gave in and 'allowed' them on the server with personal phones, but they have to sign a waiver stating that they understand they must notify IT immediately if the phone is lost/stolen - additionally, they are signing that they understand that we have the ability and right to remote wipe the phone in the case of termination/quitting/lost/stolen.
