We’re really excited about this new security application from RIM.
BlackBerry Protect is a free application which promises to deliver smart, useful security features in the event of a BlackBerry becoming lost or stolen, as well as allowing users to wirelessly backup, restore and locate your BlackBerry® smartphone.
In the event that your BlackBerry smartphone is misplaced, lost or stolen, BlackBerry Protect provides features including:
- Remote device wipe
- Remote device lock
- ‘Lost and Found’ screen
- Locate device on a map
- Remote activation of the BlackBerry smartphone loud ringer
- Wireless device backup and restore.
This application isn’t currently available right now, but is in beta-testing at the moment and is due for release later this year. We’ll keep you posted when it is available on general release.
