When I had SmrtGuard installed on my Bold, any time I accessed it remotely the LED would come on bright enough to light up a large room, and the only way to turn it off was to do a battery pull; their tech support was initially responsive but stopped answering my emails once they decided they couldn’t figure it out. And if that was a fluke, what about actually restoring your data? I got to try that out when I bricked my phone once. I felt secure because I’d been backing up my data using SmrtGuard. Unfortunately, it got only 80% through restoring my contacts before giving me a “restore error”. Messages and other data couldn’t be restored at all.

Comparing a list of features is not a “review”. Let’s see an actual review that simulates the various things that can go wrong, including bricking your phone, and let’s see how the two stack up getting your data back.

But their support team is so bad that I prefer to do without.

SmrtGuard Free: Free, but with no data backup/restore features, no device switch, no remote wipe. For free, I choose BlackBerry Protect.
