Port and routers have to allow this however. The last three WM phones we received had the Terminal Services component left out on the WM 6 phones? Go figure! VZW neutering? I do not know, but the older VZW WM phones we replaced had it. Since it is Windows only for remote desktop, it is not as useful to some users. We are using Jaadu VNC and WinAdmin (RDP) on iPhones now, works great! @ RS:

I can't wait to try it out! well with the amount of money we saved by ditching gotomypc to support remote employees, surely we can afford the $30 per IT staffer for this.. since we all have iphones or ipod touches anyway.

Especially when you consider that WM devices can do the same thing for free.

But you can save a ton of money with a little tweaking. Just get Jaadu VNC $24.95 (one time expense), Mocha VNC $5.99, Mocha VNC Lite free, or WinAdmin $11.99 - Windows Remote Desktop client using RDP. These all have been available in the App Store for some time. I have been using Jaadu VNC and WinAdmin for quite awhile to manage desktops and servers. Glad to see them join the party.
