Mobile Phone is expanding rapidly in the entire globe and naturally, we can find new content created by different companies. However, with the increase in the number of cell phones, the anxiety over cell phone theft is increasing in an alarming rate too. In many poor cities, you can find a thriving trade of stolen cell phone sets. Losing a cell phone handset is not a sweet experience. What makes it worse is that the thief can just simply change the sim and use it as his own handset. With of Tianyu B832 (a GSM based cell phone set), the users can fight back against the thief.

Esato.com reported:

Firstly when somebody steals your phone and changes a new SIM card, an SMS message will be automatically sent to your old number (which you can receive once you get a new SIM card from your operator bearing the same number), so you�fll know who has taken your phone and hunt that cheapskate down.

Secondly, once the phone gets back on network, it can be locked offshore from a computer if you choose to do so, it�fs almost like the IMEI trick but this time you are playing police yourself. So the question is, why would anyone want to steal it? Well, the screen is a 2.4�� QVGA TFT, and the camera is of 2 megapixel that can be interpolated to 3 megapixel; the camera can also act as a webcam once connected to the USB port. The body measures 100�~51×14mm weighing at 100g, so you can imagine a Nokia N73 screen mounted on to a thinner version of SonyEricsson K750i- quite tempting indeed. The microSD slot can take memory cards up to 1GB, and the music coming out from the stereo speakers sounded loud enough.

These are surely very useful features. $225 does not seem to be a bad price for these security features. I liked the design of Tianyu B832 and the color is very attractive too- at least to me. The only problem is that this cell phone set is not available every where. Right now, you can find it mainly in China and Hong Kong. I am sure that Tianyu B832 will become popular in many Asian countries because of its security features.

Yes, Tianyu B832 is not bringing the complete solution to cell phone theft but it can surely help many of us.
