Hi and thanks for the quick response:

1) Understood.

2) I am not a programmer or information security expert and I suppose my concern is more about the accessibility to the web-based information or possible hacking of same. If tracking is done on a web-based system how secure is it? Is the information encrypted while stored and during transmission back and forth? I am sure my ignorance is showing....

3) So there is no weekly reporting? Just the questionnaire at the end?

I am also curious about a few other issues...
-How big is the program to load onto the Sprint 8830?
-I have active GPS in the device. Will additional hardware be necessary?
-After the test, how much is this service each month? I couldn't find anything on your site that spelled it out.

Thanks,
SteveTaz

2. Misuse of Data: The data we see is only used for troubleshooting purposes. As far as it goes for the data gathered from the BETA program, we just want to see that it works for your BB/Network combination. When the BETA program completes (most likely August 25), all accounts and data will be purged from the system. And for misuse of data by a user (such as a BETA user of eventual client), I can't speak for HOW it would be misused, it's your data.

3. This BETA is only for testing out devices and networks. If you are concerned with compensation for your time, there is a questionnaire we would like filled out, and if this is complete, I can offer a month of free service if you sign up for an account.

I hope this answers your questions, but if not, keep asking away!
