I just noticed this over at the datebk mailing list. I find it very odd and disturbing (gmane.comp.handhelds.palm.datebk):
Subject: Treo 755P (Sprint) resetting when using DateBK 6.0 s5 + Teal Lock 6 Enterprise <...Portion discussing Datebk6 removed...> On another note, **to Sprint users and others**, I recently renewed my Sprint contract and got a new Treo 755P and activated it, moving my service over from my old phone. One of the first things I did was check the lifetimer and other info, and it showed my phone as having 0 minutes on lifetimer and it did not indicate my phone was reconditioned. This is good since it is supposed to be a brand new phone. Anyway, one of the next things i did was i connected to Yahoo Mail using the phone's browser (Blazer)'s Messages->Yahoo Mail links. Right after I tapped on the Yahoo Mail link, I got taken directly into a stranger's e-mail account! I didn't have to enter any login/pw. This made me think the phone isn't brand new and that Sprint simply wiped out all data and even lifetimer/reconditioned status info and resold it as new (although they shipped from warehouse and this was not at a store, making that less likely?)... i signed out of the stranger's yahoo mail account and signed in with my own info... then i signed out and made sure not to save my login info in cookies or whatnot, when asked during login. I tried getting to Yahoo Mail using the phone's browser again and get the login prompt with blank fields to enter my login/pw, as should be expected.. i tried 3 times more and things looked like they were working right finally. then, the next day, i get on Yahoo Mail from the phone's browser again, tap on Yahoo Mail and get taken directly into this stranger's Yahoo Mail again, w/o entering a login/pw! So last night I did a hard reset and didn't install a single thing.. i then went on Yahoo Mail using the browser in the phone again and was taken into the stranger's e-mail again! This morning, I wake up and try again and I get the yahoo blank login fields again, as should be expected... so I'm at a loss as to what's going on and wonder if any other people here have experienced this and know what the likely issue is.. previous to this new Treo 755P, I used a Sanyo flip phone that was preowned. I wonder if someone when I moved to my new Treo 755P, my online data was crossed with this stranger's who perhaps owned the phone before me (i got off ebay)... if I do a hard reset, then that would mean it couldn't be any cookies stored on my phone causing this right? as in, the phone was used and the previous owner's cached info was on the phone when i got it... or perhaps the cached info is on Sprint's servers. If anyone might know what is causing this, I would greatly appreciate your feedback and help. It makes me uneasy knowing there are such security holes...
