I do however share your concerns about having even more of my information stored on some companys' server. However, keep in mind that 3rd party applications that you use such as BeeJive and others use that companies server as well, so that information is just as easy to be compromised as well.

Rather keep personal items back up on my own system. I tried it but the backup would always fail… so I took it off my Sprint 8330. Rather keep personal items back up on my own system.

Some people NEED a way to backup, but I agree with your underlying premise about trusting these folks with your info. You can set backup frequency to "Never" and problem solved. @webchetan:

You get this message if you do not have a "native" address on your device: "you will NOT be able to use the remote tracking, remote wipe, and audio ping features. you WILL be able to use the on-device FollowMe and over the air backup and restore features." I know a lot of people never sign up for that "native" email account. Well, you'll have to now if you want to test this thing out.

Why would I want my personal data, phone numbers etc to be backeed up on SmrtGuards Server? This is weired. Itw ould be nice if it can be backed up on the SD card, so that SD card can be used in other device, install the SmrtGuard Software onto the new device and restore the data back to the new device and viola! How abt that? I would not like my personal contacts etc. to be backed up on some 3rd party server. Thanks Backing up on their servers?
