I have enabled "device lock" with screensaver, you know what, I can still connect it to PC and use File Manager to access all files even after the device is locked !
Any one has better idea about how to prevent people retrieving data from a stolen phone?
Thanks in advance

yes, the keypad is locked, but the concern is people still can connect it to PC through USB station and access all files.

Mine workds perfectly!
If my P910 locks *before* I put it in the sync station, I can not access it. The PC doesn't even sees the phone!
But if the lock happens *after* it's in the sync station, then it's visible while locked (It was unlocked before, so no harm accessing after).
I'm sure this is what's happening to you.

_LAU_,
My phone behaved just like yours initially, but after about five times re-insertion to the USB station with it "device locked", it finally got connected. I'm not sure this is a bug or what. Try yours multiple times and good luck.
