    Where's your source?

    Even if it's the most secure (by default), people here tend to prefer being in control of their own security and privacy.

    My remark was sarcastic ;) But google BBOS 7 Secure and you will find several whitepapers that rate it the most secure. I think android is more secure since I can flash an Open Source ROM (I can audit it for backdoors) and patch in a secure kernel if needed (GRSecurity).

    Open Source security > Proprietary security everytime :)

    And you have no anti-theft, not even Samsung DIVE, which comes with your Samsung account...

    I did have Kaspersky Mobile Security but once they removed the battery and the SIM card i could no longer track them.
    I never knew about Samsung Dive :O

    Yes it will be locked down . . . but if they flash it then all hope is lost. :rolleyes:
    I already reported it as a stolen device so my carrier blocked the IMEI.

    Bad luck meeting more technical thieves. So they never leaked any WiFi or GPS data either?
    I don't know much about it either, but it's worth trying as a backup.

    This may help in the future, in addition to the usual recovery-based anti-theft: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mmapps.mobile.anti.theft.alarm

    Well to be honest with you it was much more than regular thieves . . . it was an armed robbery in my house, they were pointing me with a gun . . . :( :mad:

    The first thing i did was lock down the device which i did successfully (Yes, i did call the police first) and then i started to track them down, at one point it seems that they noticed i locked it, most probably due to my friends texting me and they shut it down. I got at least 10-15 tracking locations but lost them at the end.
    Police are kinda useless here so that's another story. (I was receiving updates every 2-3 minutes and they couldn't stop them, the robbers drove around in a radius of approximately 5k the first 20 minutes and the police failed, in fact i think they got through a police check point that they setup before this happenedsince they were looking for some drug dealers)

    F*** those robbers.
