I'm glad this camee up, been wanting to post on this myself. As a backpacker, that being the reason I swore off owning a lap/desktop in favor of an n800, I've been concerned about having an easily pick-pocketed deevice that contained access to so many of my accounts. Of course many apps can be set to prompt for password, but some can't. It seemed that the device lock was sure-fire and have wondered if I may have missed something that wwould allow a thief (or finder) access should I ever loose it.

The downside to having 12 character passwds with many caps, numerals, and specials is that trying to enter them each usee on the flaky touchscreen is an adventure unto itself <grin>
