Sadly, whilst it is good advice, it's a sad state of affairs where we are advised not to use a mobile phone in public or on the move (convienince of having a mobile device) to save it being stolen or snatched out of your hand. Wouldn't it be nicer if the phone makers made them less desirable to steal with anti theft technology that disables the phone and that the criminals can't get around, thus allowing people to use their phones for their intended purpose, communication on the move.
