I was asked to review Phone Guardian from Symbian Guru. This is a neat little security application which contains a couple of nice features. After installing to the phone, the user is required to set a master password and from the applications GUI the user is able to configure the application and set some custom parameters.

These features include:

1. The option to have the guard enabled or disabled
2. To have the phone automatically lock when the SIM is changed, or when an SMS is sent to the device, or both
3. Alarm on or off
4. User configurable lock message (free text field)
5. User configrable phone number where to send SMS’s in the case an alarm condition is triggered
6. A configurable autolock period.

The only situations you’re allowed to loose your mobile in are being mugged or having your house robbed. Use common sense folks, stick your phone in your pocket. Besides, don’t you like the vibrating alert tone? Bzzz
