You know how those experts in data recovery can recover destroyed files on your computer after a deletion or being formatted? Well the same works for phones. The main difference though is a security issue when it comes to practices with phones versus desktop PCs – you don’t sell desktop hard drives but you sell phones.
Read this article. It will make you think twice about selling your phone to just anybody. Apparently, it becomes rather easy to recover data on almost all types of smartphones except the Treo, by using the “zero out” method.
Trust Digital resurrected erased e-mails and other information from a used Treo phone provided by The Associated Press for a demonstration after it was reset and appeared empty. Once the phone was reset using Palm’s awkward “zero-out” technique, no information could be recovered. The AP already used that technique to protect data on its reporters’ phones.
