Is there a way to auto hard reset the device if for example the pin is entered incorrectly 5 times? Or any other way to hard reset the device if stolen?

Thanks

There are several program's which are intended to protect your mobile when they are stolen. Not sure if there's a function like the one you mention. But there are programs which are able to send a sms with the gps location unnoticed. Use google to find it.

kuilbop: If you read again my question, I believe you'll understand the PDA is mine... Regarding the search I had already done so, but with no luck...

Bart1981: Thanks for the reply! I think that If a PDA is stolen or lost there is too many information on it - like all contacts, mails, schedules, home location (GPS), personal photos and videos, personal and professional files, etc

I really think that the hard reset feature if the pin is entered incorrectly too many times should be a default on all devices.

So, anyone can help?

Bearing in mind, how fucked off would you be if you got drunk one night and forgot your PIN?

You would lose everything, just for the sake of a few drinks? :S

A program like which you are requesting would just be pointless :)

Not exactly what you want, but check Sprite Terminator (http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/index.php?pid=195). It does a remote wipe etc.

Hi

Have just had an Email from HTC about HTC mail.
This appears (at first glance) to have what you need

Thanks Dave
