Peter from Skaden,legal firm, testimonial. All lawyers were provided cell phones, laptops, BYOD, common set of security is what we Peter is looking for in the work environment.  Skaden was part of the enterprise pilot, uniquely took three devices and cycled them on a week to 10 day plan, so most of the lawyers would experience the new BB10. Surprisingly, the younger, just out of school lawyers wanted to keep BB10 devices. Our experience is that flexibility is built in with balance.  Peek function is his fave, also keeping the flow. Waiting on carriers in the USA to roll the devices out.  So far in their European client sites, people are very happy.
