Nobody at this meeting that I could identify I see the future ... I see the Switch ... the Battery Switch. After-market item, in bright colors, that inserts between battery and phone. Ever since I found my 6160 nokia happily xmitting while "Off", I use the battery removal as an Off switch. But it is incovenient - I need the Switch (the current purpose is to beat the tracking.) The idea is to minimise the window in which the pigs can hack your phone. If you are crazy enough to keep personal info on the device with antenna in the first place.
