I have cleaned any really dangerous data off the phone (my contacts from Outlook) but you can always miss something.

I don't have anything on the storage card, but you can encrypt it from the system settings. I wonder if this slows things down. Now thinking of it, that is where the backups are, so it does warrent encryption....

I have gotten really paranoid about security listening to the Security Now Podcast, which is really excellent. If you listen to this, you will never look at Java the same way.

yeah the encryption program is rally a pain because you have to decrypt a file every time you wanna use it.

Just a simple password program, that will work with out prompting to type the password if the card is normally in your phone, but if you plug the storage card in another phone to ask you for that password.
I read somewhere a Nokia phone will do that.

thanks
