Hi

Thanks for both of your suggestions, it's good to see you are thinking 
about these things for the phone. The design team have been thinking 
along similar lines: the user should be able to access public 
information without the need to unlock, and only needs to enter a pin or 
password when they actually access private data.
If you've got any other ideas, let us know on this mailing list.

Katie
