RIM recently announced a new piece of software for the BlackBerry and it is called BlackBerry Protect. As of now, the app is in beta stage and limited to BlackBerry Beta Zone users who will be receiving special invite codes later this week. It is set to reach open public beta later this year for the general public.
One of the first things the BlackBerry Protect software will do is backup your necessary and important files. For example, you have the ability to backup contacts, tasks, calendar events, memos, bookmarks, and messages and you can choose how often to backup data. It will only update new data after every backup in order to minimize data usage. Now, let’s go through some of the key security features that makes BlackBerry Protect a solid application. In case you misplace your phone, you can choose to play a loud ring for a minute on your phone and even change it from silent to loud volume if you wish to call the phone. I don’t know about you, but I happen to misplace my cell phone all the time and such a feature is really convenient.
In case you actually lost your phone somewhere, not simply misplaced around the house, you can set a password lock feature by going online to BlackBerry Protect web portal. In addition, you can display a lost and found page which features your contact information. In addition, you can take advantage of the BlackBerry’s onboard GPS to view its current location in case the phone is on and functioning. If push comes to shove, there is a Remote Wipe feature which will delete all data on the phone and microSD card. This is where backing up your data often comes in handy, just in case you have to wipe all your memory.
I’m not sure how well the software and online program works together, but just reading about the product makes me believe it could work really well.
