1. The device is in coverage and has a SIM in it (to receive the command to wipe itself)

2. If someone puts a non-BB enabled SIM in it, it will also not be able to receive the wipe command – but they can stil use it as PDA or phone.

So a remote wipe is possibly ok for when your BB gets stolen by someone not really after your data, but is probably NOT if someone steals yoru BB to get your data. They just need to get the SIM out before the BES admin sends the wipe command.

So it’s probably a good idea to keep all the data encrypted if it’s sensitive.
