Hi folks!

I am a little bit scared that one day my Hermes will fall into wrong hands... loosing it or getting it stolen. First of all, its important for me that a thief cant access my data (calendar, emails, files on storage card) - and a second goal would be to get the device back / know WHO took it.

Therefore I would like to know which kind of security-strategy you professional WM6 users are following?

What do you do to maintain physical security (like IIWPO or Ultimate Theft Alert) and what for information security (tools like Trust Digital or Utimaco Safeguard PDA)?

Lets ignore antivirus software for this thread - but dont forget about WM6 and please report about stability, performance and necessary changes in your workflow (like for backups, file recovery) :)

Autowipe... well - this is a critical feature... but not standard on any rom, is it?
I guess if some idiot just "tries" logging in and destroys your important data you didnt backup for a day... i guess this will end up in jacob-mda's solution :)

Unfortunatley killing each and everybody is not accepted by society here... :)

And for the encrypted storage card: What if you need to hardreset? Then you cant access this card anymore... correct?
