Default What if my phone is stolen? Can I make certain contacts 'private'

I am a former Palm user. I LOVE the ability to flag some contacts as 'private' so if someone picks up my phone they can't get into the stuff I don't want just anyone to see (SSN, passwords, etc). Now an Outlook/BB user I haven't found that same capability. The Password Keeper is close, but the thought of re-entering all that information manually is painful. If there was a desktop interface that I could use to popluate the Password Keeper from my PC that would be ideal.

Ideas?

I would strongly recommend enabling the password function on your berry. It is perceived as the biggest pain-in-the-*** HOWEVER, if your berry falls into hands that shouldn't have it - you will be glad you used it.

I have mine set to lock everytime it's slide into the holster. As well, if keyboard shortcuts are enabled, pressing "k" will lock your berry.

Cheers, IK

if you are on BES your admin will be able to wipe your phone remotely too.

password+remote wipe is you best bet.
