I think that there is an app for the Droid where you can initiate a system flash, remotely, via a web browser.

I appreciate your privacy concerns.
Have you tried the "Secure Device" option from the Power Button menu? That does at least provide a user-configurable passcode for the phone - even if someone reflashes, the passcode won't be changed.
There is an enhancement logged to show the user's details on the Unlock screen, but I haven't been able to find the bug number.

The N900 is a wonderful tool and concentrate many things in a small object.
Problem is what happened when someone steal this object or if you lose it ?
All you phones contacts, pictures, videos, SMS, Instant messaging, websites passwords, emails, Skype & SIP account, calendar etc. will be available to someone else... Not to mention what you put on the large 32 Go...
I know that you can lock the phone but it doesn't seem enough and it is quite inconvenient to do it frequently.
What would be interesting would be an option to quickly unlock with a simple gesture to draw on the screen. After three attempts, the phone gets lock, a message get displayed ("contact Mr. xxx") and you'll need the password to access it again.
Now to be on the safe side, you'll also have to store all the sensitive information in an encrypted partition (emails for instance...). But I imagine that performance issues would make that unuseable.
Do someone have a brillant idea on how to overcome this privacy problem ?
Is there a brainstorm somewhere on this subject ?
Thanks,
