23 Feb 09 Stolen Windows Mobile 6.5 Phone Gets Wiped Out Over the Air

An HTC phone belonging to a Telstra exec disappeared during last week’s MWC. Everyone that knew about it, is probably waiting for hot stuff to come out of it. At least some hot hands-on Windows Mobile 6.5 videos. Well that will never happen as the phone has been wiped out already, over the air. Microsoft personally took care of that. It wiped all traces of the operating system and user data from the mobile as soon as it has been reported stolen. It’s good to know one will be able to protect private data with that new Microsoft mobile OS. But how do you feel knowing that Microsoft can erase stuff from your phone? Hopefully that kind of technology will never fall in the wrong hands.
