Hi everyone,
I have quite a lot of sensitive information in the notes of some of my contacts. Is there any way to hide/secure/password this information. I am somewhat concerned that if my xda2 is lost or stolen then this information could be used for evil, not for good if you know what I mean.
Any advise would be appreciated

I don't put any sensitive info in Contacts. I put them in eWallet (3rd-party software; I got it from my old iPAQ) which is password-protected. I also password-protect my XDA II (Settings->Password).

not only THAT, but you can also password the SIM card too! so no one can use the sim card in their own cell phone, to make long distance calls ;)

Fortunately, there are no Pocket PC viruses in the wild at this time. But the Pocket PC can be a carrier of viruses, worms and trojans that can infect other platforms (the Pocket PC itself won't be infected). There are already existing viruses that can infect Palm devices though.
