I like having two phones.
It has the added advantage of when I go on holiday I turn it off, put it in a drawer, and LEAVE IT THERE (with the voicemail messages adjusted accordingly).
HR have my personal phone number, and if there are any emergencies they know where to get me.
This has saved a lot of frivolous calls from customers, and family arguments.
In fact, as my current employer does not offer a company phone, I got myself a cheap Pay as You Go phone just to keep the system going.

I thought M$ had just published the spec for MAPI, so tech diversity may be coming your way quicker that your thought.
Anyway there are always ways over the corporate MAPI barrier for the enterprising tech-head.
DavMail springs to mind.
As far as "connecting" to the network, I have no issue with what you use, assuming it isn't a device made for malevolence. However, when you come running into my office at 4:56 wanting help with your $latest_awesome_phone, that I know nothing about, then I start to wonder if letting you use your home device for work was a good idea. Or when you want me to enable IMAP because that's all that a single employee's phone supports (and we use Exchange/MAPI like most similar companies), then again, I wonder why we let people use personal devices. But it is great to think of dumping all the procurement/management onto the end user...

Fanboy basically means "no matter if they do good or bad I'll follow them", which is just another way of saying "I'm a fucking idiot". Seriously, being called fanboy is a bad thing.
I think you've got it wrong. An Apple fanboy is anyone who is less critical of Apple than you are, while an Apple-hater is anyone who is more critical of Apple than you are. At least that's how I've seen the words used on
I always tend to differentiaye between a Fanboy and a fanboi, the former being descriptive, the latter pejorative
