(and then enter your pin # to register. if you don't the sim is accepted but the phone goes into silent alarm mode). in the end - this is what an open phone is all about. all of you are discussing solutions and various attacks that may or may not work for you to secure your phone in the event of loss. in the end you can write whatever works for you and put it on! :) OpenMoko is not going to even think of stopping you :) We're going to give a helping hand. :) -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
