You CAN lock down the devices fully if they are Windows mobiles. Depending upon the other devices you use, the lock down feature will be less.

I have about 25-30 Blackberry devices in use by field service technicians. &nbsp;We are wanting to move to better technology and get away from BES and blackberry. &nbsp;I am going to start to test with htc inspire/desires/thunderbol<wbr />t etc. &nbsp;I'm wondering if there is any software or technology that would allow me to have more control over these smartphones like I did through BES for Blackberry devices. &nbsp;In other words be able to lock them down and limit what the users are allowed to do with them; like installing apps, control allowed websites/browsing, restrict tethering, remote wipe in case device lost/stolen etc.
