The current BlackBerry Protect public beta is the culmination of a long project at RIM. I think it is a feature that RIM needed 5 years ago yet held out on doing since it slightly cannibalizes their enterprise business. As we have seen from the proliferation of BlackBerry backup (and even synchronization) apps users want help backing up their critical data from danger.
I have spoken to many friends and readers about their trials with BlackBerry Protect and so far things have been pretty positive. I have heard some resentment about it not working on devices already connected to a BES but that looks like it may be fixed soon. The only other complaint I heard was that RIM has not made it available worldwide yet but for that I blame the idiots at RIM legal.
So I thought I would simply ask all of you what you think of BlackBerry Protect? Give us a quick review in the comments on how you think it stacks up. Is it the best thing since sliced bread or is it a waste of memory. Let us know!
