Who uses - The passcode lock on your iPhone?

That's exactly why I do it, get the same reaction everytime "what's your code?!" haha.
It's a phone with all my e-mails and stuff on it, of course it's got a code! Comes on immediately! 
Auto-lock after 1 minute, require passcode, delete after 10 failed attempts. Even though there's a passcode I'll also clean all my texts off the phone at the end of the day. You can say I'm a bit paranoid.
From the posts I've seen about the subject, the Exchange server makes you have the passcode on while it's set up.
Yes but it would need to be set up to force the passlock by the admin, obviously the phone wouldn't do it for all exchange servers.
I'm only speculating based on the posts anyway.
If you have yours set to every 4 hours, then its virutally useless.
If your phone is lost or stolen, it could be in someone's hands for hours. There's little reason to have a passcode if you going to leave the phone unlocked for half a business day.
No I can't. It is parametered as mandatory in the security policy. It is the same on blackberry or any windows mobile PDA.
I've been using it since the 3g. It was a bit of a nuisance at first, but after a few days it just becomes 2nd nature. And the security I felt the couple of times I misplaced my phone was very comforting. Anyone who wants to keep their data private in the wrong hands should be using it.
I can't. I tried it on my iTouch after I got my iPhone and when I took off the password, I lost all ability to access the company exchange server on the iTouch.
