Welcome Neil! Now I warn you, I’m very cynical when it comes to security. As a former sysadmin I can tell you that in the end it is the user who is the last step in getting and transmitting viruses. You can have the most advanced security solution on any device, but it’s the user who clicks OK and Accept.

I still maintain my opinion that the best security solution is common sense. Current S60v3 devices have a hell of a lot of conformation dialogs, and while I find them annoying, I welcome that they ask a user "Are you really really sure about this?!"

Anyway I don’t want to rain on your parade, welcome to the S60 blogs and I look forward to your posts!

About The Author

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

    Cool, haven’t been an sysadmin before (except for my blog ;) or something but I think its a nice addition to the blogging community. Mobile devices get more advanced and holds more personal (and work related) information which easily can be lost. Good initiative.

    Wallet … Check
