Review of Guardian Mobile for Nokia S60 series E and N

With what does a Nokia the possibility of theft is certainly very annoying. Fortunately, unlike our beloved iPhone is fully customizable which means that we can do to protect it from a program hidden in a boot!

There are several programs that perform this function. Initially I used to PhoneSecure WildPalm but is only compatible with the old version of S60. For the new phones from Nokia so I bought Mobile Guardian (Incidentally developed in Italy by an Italian).

Mobile Guardian once installed silently at startup part and make sure your sim is among those authorized. If the sim is not authorized guardian mobile then begins secretly sending an SMS to a mobile phone number trusted. This SMS will contain the number of the new SIM card in your phone! In Italy this is sufficient to trace the lucky owner of your phone (the Council a good report of theft).

the Platinum version (it costs a bit more) also allows you to use GPS on the phone to send a message with the known position in this case you can also do yourself a visit to your phone.

It is also possible applications to protect your phone with the security code. For example you can protect the installer is, or posts or whatever you want.

problem and it

1. The commands are sent to the Mobile Guardian card thief, if that were to receive your text messages while the card in another phone would be aware of your PIN. In this case, would not only suspicious but could uninstall the application. Knowing that SMS are not always on time this is not just a flaw which is not attributable to the program.
2. If the thief is not an idiot when he realizes that there is a guardian will format complete. The hope is that before this has his mobile number and maybe even your home address. However, if you are protecting your data has been assured that the format will not recover.

Conclusions: A program recommended in both the free version in the GOLD. I contacted them to see if there is a possibility of discounts from version to the Gold Platinum, the possibility is there but not working correctly in this promotional period (it miscalculated the cost of upgrades for those who have paid the full price license gold).
