This would be great to have on the N900."

How is that idea received in this forum?

Never heard of such a feature on other Nokia phones - my last was an N85 - but it sounds like an interesting concept, and would have to be pretty difficult to overcome (ie. the passphrase couldn't be removed or replaced by performing a reflash of the device).
