RE: qtopia flash image update
Hi Lorn, Thanks for the update one problem though. In my case (and presumably the case for others), I'm not normally inserting a SIM. If I wait long enough will the lock time out since the network isn't going to register? Failing that, is there a configuration file I can modify to change the current behaviour?

The bottom left soft menu is unlock, but touching the screen there doesn't register at all. Holding in the power button for a moment provides the restart/shutdown menu.

What I'd like to see would be for most functions to be available without the need for any sort of login. I don't want to have to enter a password to answer my phone or listen to an MP3! However, when I access data I've marked as private, I should have to enter a password; having looked at some private data, I'd like to be able to keep looking at private data for some time -- sort of like how sudo on my desktop doesn't ask for my password for every command I execute, but if I don't execute a sudo command for a while, it decides to ask for a password again. What I *don't* want is what Palm does: they've got the first part of wishes right -- unless I lock the device, I can do things like dial the phone without a password. Where they screw up is with their handling of private records: I can mark a record as private, and then I can set security on the phone to either view or hide private records. If I ask to view private records I enter a password -- at which point I can see all private records on the phone, from then until I manual hide them all again.
