I think it's a great idea! I dont see people complaining that they have a passwrod for there pc and then one for there emails... I know they arent the same things but it's still a good idea and some people may find it a good idea.

Possibly, but big brother would die of boredom if he tried reading my conversations.

A mobile device like this is best secured when it is physically locked away or in your pocket and when an encryption is set to the whole filesystem. Everything else is just obscurity and no security. And for obscurity, I can even just delete the shortcut for conversations from my desktop.

I don't know why some people are acting like this is some sort of new paradigm or feature..

I could put a lock on messages on my old samsung G600 , you could put a lock on most things such as files and games as well. But the lock on messages was very useful as it thwarted my pesky little brother in his efforts when trying to get a sneaky peak at my texts!
I'm a fan of multiple layers of security, even if it is "obscurity" because the majority of people would not know how to circumvent these preventative measures.

I don't think I have ever seen the messaging application of ANY phone have a password lock.
Although they deserve to get caught I think there must be a demand for password protected text messages!
