Free Anti-Theft security for your mobile phone from F-Secure

Nearly all of us have at least one smartphone that we carry around on a daily basis and sometimes even sleep with it next to our bed at night. With this little piece of technology becoming so important to us, we absolutely get frantic if we lose it or it gets stolen. F-Secure has released a free app that will help you locate your phone if you've misplaced it. It will even go so far as to allow you to lock and wipe the phone if necessary to keep any valuable information out of the hands of some stranger. The phone types supported include nearly 85% of the smartphones sold in 2010 (outside of the iPhone itself):

• Android 1.6, 2.x
• Symbian S60 3rd and 5th Edition
• Windows Mobile 6 Professional
• Windows Mobile 6 Standard
• Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC
• Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphone

F-Secure's overview page (linked here) provides you with a video demo of how the software and service works. It looks quite easy to install and use and I do believe I'll be installing it on my own Windows Mobile 6-based phone. You can go here for instructions on how to install.
