It's finally a reality. Just go to http://www.blackberry.com/protect to get set up. You need to get the app in App World. I tested the location feature and it found me at my house with no problem.

It was a really fast download considering it is a 2MB file. It backed up my data quickly once installed.

I have a 9650, BIS, 6.0, and I can install, but it never opens, etc. Anyone else come across this?

I love this app! Works very well and very fast!

I'm not sure, but I think I'm draining the battery quicker with the locator service on. Otherwise, it's great.

'WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO?!?!?"Haha! That's hilarious fubaz. Such a cool feature to be able to send messages to the screen from a computer. I like going with the fake fingerprint scanner trick: "WARNING! Fingerprints not recognized! Return BlackBerry device to Jay or all contents will be wiped."
I never thought to add the loud ring after that. Genius!

@fubaz: that just ain't right ;)
(What? No, of course I'm not going to do the same thing to my wife. Nooo! Don't be ridiculous...)
Try out BBSSH - a free SSH and Telnet client designed for your BlackBerry device.

Protect is working good so far. I like it! It's simple use and the UI is clean.

It's simple use and the UI is clean.I agree, the UI is very clean, not much different from say the UI of Travel, actually, it's pretty much the same UI across the board for RIM but hey, why mess with a good thing? Protect is working great for me. Back up weekly, haven't had to use the other features, but that is also a good thing (I certainly hope no one is having to use Remote Wipe on a weekly basis).
