I have heard this dribble from Verizon for the past year and a half. I had one rep go in and uninstall Lookout without my permission and blame it for problems I had with my phone. Then I was sent another phone, and did not install Lookout. What do you know? That phone had the SAME problem. Verizon has wiped pictures from my phone and would be able to do nothing if my phone was lost, so Lookout is on my 28th Droid. That’s right. 28th. This is a Motorola issue in lack of quality control in manufacturing. The Verizon reps all have been told to attack the Lookout app, claiming, “You don’t need that.” My response is this, “What will you do if I get a virus or lose my phone?” They never have an answer. So Lookout is my app for solving that problem. I recently asked Verizon to provide me with the document of the research they have that shows Lookout is at fault for phone issue. They could not provide one. Lookout is widely deployed and therefore a perfect scapegoat for the inexperienced consumer. I have run several Droids without it and many with it, and see no difference in the problems that arise in its absence. So it is not at fault. I’ve been through 28 Droids. I should know better than the average Verizon rep. And I’ll say the app has saved the loss of data a time or two.

There is at least one program that backs up SMS to your GMail account – “SMS Backup” by Christoph Studer. It's an open-source app and uses IMAP to connect to GMail, so you need to have that enabled. Mine backs up using a label of SMS and marks the messages as read (and archived, they don't go to my inbox).

Mobile defense is more preferrable, I once tried it, it did not let me down.

I added Mobile Defense and lookout. When I located my phone with each, Mobile Defense gave the phone less information about what I was doing remotely (which I liked).

WaveSecure has added scheduling (auto-backup, as they call it), its way cool as it backs up ur data in a “battery friendly” way – only when u plugged in to charge ur your phone. Very cool. that should tip the scale according to your analysis

i just saw this comparison. have been wondering about this for a while.

i have tried all three and would go for wavesecure, i think when this article was published (jan), all there were comparable. but by now wavesecure has made significant improvements, which gives me confidence that this will keep getting better.

my biggest problem is the price ($20) though, but i guess that's the price to pay for a pretty sophisticated app, guess they have to make money somehow (come to think of it.. i would be worried if its free)
