| Yes, you can password protect your Treo. You can also set it where it does not display your incoming text messages. There are even programs that will allow you to delete (format) the device remotely via sms should it get lost!

| Plus there's a number of high and low end encryption packages for your data... The remote kill is extra useful....and sounds kinda cool. ~ Steph

| Yeah, I've read that too. If someone is seriously looking to get info from you, there's not much you can do to actually stop them. You can make it harder, but if they're serious........

Exactly. My Dad always used to say that "locks are just there to keep out honest people." An amateur car thief can disable "The Club" steering wheel lock in about 30 seconds - but if there are two cars waiting for the taking, he'll go after the one without the steering wheel lock just because it's faster and easier. Same theory applies to security apps for our smartphones, etc. | |
