this question popped into my head the first time they mentioned Remote Wipe and i was wondering if anyone here knows the answer. if someone steals your iPhone and you remote wipe it, what if you get the iPhone back, can you still use it (like can you restore it from the remote wipe.)? i know the changes are slim that you get it back but you never know.
 
As far as I understand, the remote wipe is supported through the Exchange push. That is, you will have remote wipe capacity if you are using the exchange push to get your mail.

You will need to call the exchange administrator to issue the remote wipe when your phone is lost.
