That Live-CD thing was meant for the laptop reference... not the N900.

I'm saying if I "encrypted" my drive and yet someone could just pull up the drive anyway.. it's futile.

Maybe considering these devices do have a keyboard... Nokia should implement a "pass phrase" instead of a PIN. Cuz you are correct.. in any algorithm of encryption a brute force of 5-number password will be easy - unless they move to some form of PKI solution.

But again.. all this just means that to me.. "securing" the device is really just to prevent my childish co-workers from setting my background to being a picture of a naked Rick Astley or sending random love texts to my contacts....

It doesn't actually make the device "secure".
