So who all uses pattern lock instead of slide to unlock?

I think I recall an app called Contact Owner that was specifically designed to do this.

I prefer the PIN (password is also an option) lock in Froyo.

 

i don't use it yet but I was strongly considering using it because I wouldn't mind as much if I happened to leave my phone somewhere. It's just that I would be the only one to be able to unlock it so if something ever happened and someone needed to use my phone in a life and death situation, they would pretty much be screwed.

 

I use an emergency contact app [ ICE: In Case of Emergency - Android app on AppBrain ] that allows you to also put some text at the bottom of the page for return/contact information. I have it set on a 10 second delay, if I, or someone else, does not unlock the phone it presents them with a splash page where they can access my medical and emergency contact information without any other access to my phone. From the app they can call my emergency contacts or direct dial any other number through the normal 'emergency call' feature of the lock screen.

 

I prefer to use the Pin option in Froyo, and in case that someone insert a new sim card to use the phone, Wave secure lock it and show the owner info.

 

Sim card?? I didn't know the Droid had that lol
