   It intrigues me when I see someone who has to enter a Password on their   
   Mobile Phone before they can use it.   
      
   WHY??   
      
   As long as YOU don't lose your mobile phone, WHY do you need to secure it??   
      
   (I don't do Banking/Credit Card on my mobile phone so what would I lose   
   if I lost it?? Photos!!)
