Yes, you have a, say, 5-digit code, that gives you 100000 possible combinations which a would-be attacker would need to try, physically, one after the other (using whatever order).

It's not like the phone keypad and screen can be remotely unlocked or anything.
Give my literally 2 minutes and I can access all your data if the lock code is the only protection by mounting the EMMC using a different OS. Simple. It's sufficient for some random, non-IT addicted thief or the lovely sister though.

I'm probably not up for anything from the extras-devel. catalogs
If this is the case, I can't think of any other method. Lock intervall every 5 minutes + TrueCrypt is the most secure and user friendly solution I am aware of. Or simply don't store sensitive data on the device...
