Default Android Krew....phone security

What do you guys use?

Look Out
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

I just reinstalled it for fun. But the GPS location is pretty good. I had my GPS turned off, and through the web, I enabled it on my phone and within a minute it located where my phone was. And that tip of the arrow is EXACTLY where I am sitting right now I dont know exactly what good that would do in relocating your phone after it was stolen, but I guess it is better than nothing.




Plan B

This one seems good to have. I have a security code to get into the phone, but I dont know how easy that is to break into. And I dont know how secure the information on the SD card is.

I use lookout too, but hear from some people that it's not really too necessary. It helps me keep my mind at ease though..
