Im very surprised that a phone like the p800 hasnt been designed to use Fingerprinting Recognition as a security feature.

Do you think this is something for the future?

nope. the phone of the future (assuming we'd still need an external phone by then) is it'll extract a portion of your skin/blood for dna and match it with the user profiles which has been approved for the phone's use

when its more reliable perhaps (have you tried it on the ipaq? I still won't use it as my main security feature!).

My thoughts are, especially with mobile phones, is that voice recognition security will be the way it goes since we are already part way there with voice dialling.

Fingerprint recognition will require additional hardware that'll add too much to the cost of the phone from the manufacturers' standpoint. They're very sensitive to cost increases. They only started to incorporate cameras when the price, power consumption and physical volume came down to an acceptable level.

Cameras are seen are being highly desirable to consumers, plus the networks, who are major resellers of handsets, want them in order to increase traffic on their network (and therefore revenue). There just isn't the same push for fingerprint recognition from either side.

It's likely that the only biometric security measure that'll be incorporated in to handsets is one that can largely use existing hardware. Perhaps voice recognition could be used, or maybe even iris recognition using the built in camera (although a decent illumination source like a white LED would have to be added).

what about Iris scanning recognition, now that has got to be one cool puppy to have on your phone

@teg

I'm sorry but what you thought of is still way too primitive, The phone of the future is to have your whole body scanned by the phone’s bio-molecular scan from the skin down to the subatomic level of your whole body, this phone has an np-slot( nano probes slot ) which contains one billion nano-probes which will do a one-time sensor sweep of your whole body within a radius of 1m to 100m only ( once there is future upgrade version then the radius would increase to 1000m so forth and so on ) if the nano-probes finds out that the phone has been with an unauthorized user, it will immediately do a self-teleportation ( at the speed of sound )back to the hands of the proper owner.( unless the owner itself shuts off this teleportation mode):-D

You lot arent very good at this future prediction stuff !! Why the hell would we have bulky phones which we have to carry around everywhere when we can have phones implanted at birth which are connected to all our senses

Scarily this sort of stuff is already in development. Theres people working at IBM's Hursley Labs on the technology as we speak

@ demon106

Well the implanted phone by birth would be possible but I think that will exist a little later in the future, say year 10000, what I had told teg is the phone that will be built in the year 3000, anyways, by the dawn of year 10500 mankind wouldn’t need for phones anymore I believe that mankind will step to the next stage of the evolutionary stage that would likely be a stage where man's brain will progress to develop a more higher function ( Like an upgrade from ms-dos to Windows XP, whereby using telepathy as the mode of communication in which oral speech will be considered barbaric, uncivilized and a long lost art.
