Unless your phone *has* a full keyboard, a decent lock system  and the card
is encrypted.... credit me with some common sense ;-)

I also cant think of any reason a laptop is easier or harder to loose than a
phone. You're either careless or you take care of your toys no matter what
they are.

Oliver - if you can cope with windows mobile, I use the VOX for pretty much
the scenario your looking at - out of hours support, don't want to carry a
laptop everywhere on the off chance that my decently maintained servers will
hang - its happened twice in just over a year, both times I was out shopping
with the wife - I don't know any one who wants to be dragging a laptop round
tescos with them.
