There’s so many people making a temporary living off decent people. How they do it? They steal their identities, use their credit cards and bank accounts.

How many of you use a phone for more than talking on it? Do you buy stuff? Check your savings account? Read e-mails? And the iPhone is the perfect tool to do it. Browsing around and going about your business is easier and so much fun. What happens when you decide to switch to iPhone2 is that you are most likely to sell your old one. Little do you know that so many details of your private life remain hidden inside the phone’s memory and could be uncovered by anyone looking for it.

So what is there to be done? When you decide to stop using your iPhone simply charge its memory with lots of movies and music that will eventually erase your personal info. Don’t save any passwords or if you did, change all passwords to all of your accounts. And go to Apple to give you a format-like solution so you can wipe it clean. Hopefully the 3G iPhone will solve this problem!
