| − | | + | |
| − | [[Blackberry Forensics|Forensics on the RIM platform]] is complicated by the fact that this is a "push" device --- the RIM server will push device to the [[PDA]] whenever the PDA's radio is on and there is data available.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | RIM devices also feature a remote self-destruct feature. This feature cannot be activated if the radio is turned off, of course.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Both of these features mean that you need to be sure that the radio is off when doing a forensic investigation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Depending on the setting, entering a wrong password a certain number of times will wipe the device.
