Odd BlackBerry "Feature"... Secure?
Okay, was using a friend's BlackBerry Torch 9800 for a couple of weeks.
Yesterday he got it back. He puts in his sim (after I reset/wiped the Torch***), and while the email setup-client asks for email account verification (i.e., "enter your account password"), his emails are loading. That is, he could read /write emails BEFORE he entered his password!!!
AHEM, is that the same in all BBs?
Not very secure, is it?
(Granted, his sim was obviously registered with BB, but still...)
*** - how filthy would that line have read for someone 50 years ago?

Probably still more secure than Android, which seems to have absolutely gaping security holes, worryingly.
For security, BB still rule the roost, IMO.

True

I don't think "Okay, was using a friend's Torch 9800" sounds better.

still could be worse... the iphone 4s has possibly the worst security feature ever...
siri will do anything shes asked even if the phone is locked with a pin...

Siri is still in Beta.
Treab Oct. 21, 2011 at 16:22
still shouldn't happen
Treab Oct. 21, 2011 at 16:23
and i also think 'beta' for siri is another way for apple to excuse themselves. IF ITS A PUBLICISED PART OF A PHONE ITS NOT A BETA.
they made siri sound amazing so the least they should ensure is that it doesn't reveal names and address/calendar events just by asking.
