One of the fewest efficient security solutions found on the Symbian software market, Handy Safe Pro, developed by Epocware, is a great assistant that helps owners of Symbian smartphones keep their important data safe. Regardless of which kind of information you are willing to store on your smartphone's memory, either it's passwords, credit card details, user names, codes, accounts (email, Internet, shopping, bank), web pages, addresses, travel info, insurance policies, or software keys, you can be sure that they will stay safe.

The security application includes a desktop agent called Handy Desktop Professional that enables users to synchronize all the information between the smartphone and the PC. Even though the software is capable of storing large amounts of data, this is very easy to access. To be more precise, the application can store about 35 unique information forms. Adding new info is very easily done, as Handy Safe Pro features predefined templates for a wide range of items such as: credit cards, bank accounts, and many more. If that doesn't meet your demands, the application offers you the possibility to customize your own templates for particular info forms.

The security solution protects all the data with a strong 448-bit data encryption system, called Blowfish, which is meant to keep data private and secure. Blowfish is a keyed, symmetric block cipher, designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier, and no effective code-breaking on it has been known of publicly so far. Other features of the application include the possibility to restore items in case of accidental deleting, auto-lock when Handy Safe is in the background or if it's not used for a certain period of time, as well as sub-folder support.
The Desktop agent provides easy access to the smartphone information directly from the PC, as it has been especially designed for fast synchronization. The latest version of Handy Safe Pro introduces some nice new features: user-defined database location, improved toolbar, database wizard, search results, hide password function.
Handy Safe Pro doesn't come too cheap and can be acquired for 34.95 USD, but there's also a fully functional 14-day trial version that can get you going.
