VentureBeat: Paris Hilton’s lost BlackBerry needs a kill switch

    You can do the next best thing: add a password. Too many bad password attempts, and the phone wipes itself.

    She should keep it with her coke and her Valtrex prescription. She never loses those...

    If your BlackBerry is connected to an Exchange Server account via BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server), you have this. Your admin goes into BES, clicks Kill, and your handset wipes itself and reboots. I've done it as a test and it worked instantly.

    www.mobilearmor.com is another option for securing all mobile data, and has a self-destruct option.

    I'll bet she'll be the most popular girl now! Can you imagine the hundreds of "friends" who'll be pleased to know their private numbers are now compromised. The SIM card will have everything on it and it will certainly fetch a high dollar amount for anyone looking to make some quick cash. I know I've lost or misplaced my phones in the past...but, in her world, things like this are not easily forgiven.

    I've been using a free service called Mobile Defense (https://www.mobiledefense.com) on my Android phone. They are beta testing a Blackberry client.

    Great free advertising for Blackberry:
    Stars use Blackberry - not iPhone.

    They should use the WhereRYu app.
    WhereRYu allows you or your trusted family and friends to know where you (your phone) are located at all times

    You could check out Flexilis Mobile Security for this as well. (http://www.flexilis.com), They do remote wipe, and remote locate via google maps as well, among a lot of other stuff. They're on WinMo right now and Android and iPhone soon, I believe blackberry is in the pipeline.
