Disable ActiveSync Remote Wipe in Froyo In short:

Is there a way to disable remote wipe for Android Phones (specifically in Froyo)?

Background:

I recently upgraded my G1 to a G2, and was about to set up my company e-mail account. But the problem is, it notified me I'd have to allow the company to set my security settings. Looking into it, Froyo (Android 2.2) added support for things like remote wipe and user access controls from the admin. I understand this is a great move, but we've had problems in the past with our IT team accidentally sending these messages to the wrong phones, and the last thing I want is an accidental bricking while I'm at a conference.

Is there a way to connect to ActiveSync so I can still get push notifications of work email, but not allow remote wipe messages to wipe my phone?

I'm fine with them setting security policy like requiring a PIN or something, but I don't want a remote wipe unless it's sent by me from a security app that I installed at will.
I had the same issue with a company I'm working with now.  I'm a consultant, and my current client has given me a corporate email address, which I synched to my phone so I'm able to view and respond to messages when I'm not at the client site.  They have a script that runs when your contract expires to send the remote wipe command.  However, I've been extended several times, and their system treats extensions as a brand new contract, thus wiping my phone every time.

Touchdown worked like a charm... it keeps your data completely seperate from the rest of your phone.  That's really the only negative, as you can't view all of your appointments (personal and corporate) on one central calendar.  This applies BOTH to the pin code AND to the remote wipe command... Since I've been extended several times, they've sent the wipe command each time and touchdown is simply wiped, not the rest of the phone.  Best 20 bucks I've ever spent.

On a social note though I do agree since this is my personal phone, they shouldn't be able to wipe ALL of my data unless the command is coming from me.  I think this is a huge miss within the native email client.
