    Question Security question

    So I password protected my phone and set the time for 15 minutes. Is this sufficient to protect my info or should i do something else?

    I would think so. If you want to be safer, you can set it for everytime or less than 15 minutes, but I don't think anyone will get into it through the passcode, unless they know of the security issues in previous firmwares.

    EDIT: Well, just saw in your thing that you're indeed on 2.2, so you should be fine about the security flaw. I believe it's been fixed in the new firmware.

    well i tried to push emergency call then hit the home button twice but it just took me back to the passcode screen, so maybe the flaw is fixed on 2.2?

    ^Yeah; I edited my earlier post to let you know that, but I guess you didn't see it. Anyway, yeah, you're good...
