Huge Security Flaw on iPhone

If you use the auto lock function were you have to place 4 passcode into the phone to unlock it, you can still access your favorite numbers,from there contact details, if you have emails associated to them, then your email accounts and emails are accessible and if any emails have website links, then they have access to safari etc

Best read it yourself, and watch the video demo of what can be done to prevent this until Apple release a fix

Wow, good tip! It is correct in so much that you can go pretty much anywhere on the phone if you have enough info in your favorites. I've now changed my 'double-tap' to home.

Well spotted!

i tried it out today on my dads iphone, but i had to switch the lock on to try it out as he only had the slide style lock on

How many people bother with the passcode lock?

Not sounding like a complete arse here.. but i prefer my N95 Black..
Iphone is good toy, but its too slow to use texting, and you can't do it one handed.. and it stalls quite a bit.
email still isn't working properly for me, and the security issue did play on my mind somewhat.. still got my N95 black, and am going to use the iphone till monday and see how i get on with it..

I think the N95 will be my next phone, a few folks here have them and it looks a solid bit of kit

The iPhone does look good, but I think it's form over function as with most Apple stuff.

Well I have both the N95 (work) & the iPhone (personal) & I far prefer the iPhone !

The N95 is a good phone, in fact a very good phone. But it’s just too clunky & windows-esque. You end up digging around menus to find something that should just obvisouly be there. I've found it to be very awkward & illogical to use.

I only got the iPhone last week & instantly loved it. I don't ever recall feeling so at home with a new phone, as I do with the iPhone

In fact I have my work sim gone out of the N95 & am using the iPhone all the time now.

Is this N96 out now then? I'm not after the latest and greatest particularly and always look for the best phone i can get for free - don't see the point in spending money on a phone
