Screen Lock?

---

I am considering one of these phones. I have a G1 now and like the specs on this better.

I use my phone to sync with Exchange 2007 and I see there are some issues with that. Not a big deal if I can get Touchdown working on this phone. That is what I use now and it is fine.

On to my question. Our security policy at work requires a password to unlock the screen on phones synced to our exchange server. I have seen where there is a screen lock to prevent pocket dials. Do they still have the option to enable the password pattern like what the older G1 has? Work was fine with that for a password.

Thanks

AFAIK, the built in active sync client does not support the enforecement of security policies. However, touchdown does support the enforecement of a 4 digit pin (and probably other security policies). This basically means that you must enter the pin you set when launching the touchdown application. It's not a bad implementation, but I do wish the android screen lock could somehow "qualify" as entering the pin.

Main screen -> Menu button -> Settings -> Location & Security
in there you will see the pattern settings.

(Yes pattern lock is available.)

Thanks. So it sounds like it is just like my G1. I don't have a N1 yet but before I ordered one I wanted to make sure.
