If it's exchange delete the account.
If you have a MobileMe account you can remote wipe the whole phone from the MobileMe website, you can also locate the phone, change the password and send it a message which makes a sound even when the phone is on silent.
You can also reset the phone which will get rid of everything.

Unless you work for Allphones you wouldn't have Storms, which are easily the biggest problem phone at Vodafone with constant issues and complaints.
I stand by my claim that compared to an iPhone the N97 is absolutely horrible to use.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-11-08 10:24 from P%nmI'm really happy with my N97. I'm very glad I traded in my iPhone for one. Although there will be things I miss about it, mainly the App store, the positives I have experienced from the N97 squash any regret I may have had. IMO the reason the iPhone is so popular is firstly its apps and secondly its user friendly-ness. However, I'm not a techno-noob, so I don't need a phone that treats me like one.
That brings me to talk about the ever growing population of iPhone users. They seem to think that because they own an iPhone, they know all about technology and could configure an Operating System from scratch. Of course you can little iPhone user, of course you can. I'm going to throw Linux at you now, show me how to set that up. You are so smart because you can find an app to suit your needs and click buttons on iTunes.
Working at a phone store, the questions I get about iPhones never cease to amaze me. One of the most common has been "I want an iPhone, everyone says they are cool. Is this an iPhone?" then they pick up the BlackBerry Storm. After showing them what an actual iPhone looks like, I get questions like "What is a gigabyte? don't they come in 3G? 3 gigabytes?" After explaining how size works, they normally decide they want a 32GB one, making it clear they won't be putting music or videos on it, it's a phone after all! Why would you put that stuff on it?
I know there are smart iPhone users out there, particulary the ones who made jailbreaking possible. And just because you can follow Youtube instructions on how to jailbreak, does not make you technology literate either. I'm looking at you 13 year old iPhone user with pants halfway down your azz and gold chains around your neck with dollar signs on them. You are not hardcore because you can change the theme on your iPhone!

Any touch-screen, be it 5800, n97, or touch pro2, if the size is below 3.49 inch should be provided with a full size keyboard.
iPhone is the only gadget thAt gives you 18 hours plus service out of 30 minutes of charging, and a handset my 5 yr old knows how to take pitures with,ake a few calls and answer them. Only handset I have a second thought about is the HD2.

This phone is awesome! The first iphone was a mess at first. then this thing just came with the upgrades we begged for and now we get some hot games from the app store too. Although its not the perfect phone I think it is better than the 5800 and comparable to the n97.

Samsung doesn't even register in the top five Smartphone manufacturers, they don't sell enough smartphones, they are lumped in with "other".

Bec's list of useless features has no bearing on the real smartphone world.
Bec doesn't like Nokia's, there are no current Nokia's that can film video above VGA.
Bec must be a Samsung or LG fan, but then they can't do some of the other things.
Bec must be a fantasy phone fan with no grasp on reality.
Bec should get a life and stop posting from that file, Bec has saved somewhere.
Aye, Bec?
