My experiences with Phoenix Freeze

The Phoenix Freeze application came out recently and as the tag line says, the best ideas are simple. I agree completely with that, however what i did not agree with was the implementation of the same. I installed the trial version of Phoenix freeze and was pretty impressed with what i saw, after the initial setup and getting used to, it worked like a charm. The pairing up of the cell phone with the software went without a hitch. It could be particularly useful in office environments where one need not lock the desktop and unlock it every time time one gets up for a minute or two.

However it was only later i realized that keeping my cell phones Bluetooth on continuously was taxing it a great deal, and yes i am one of the paranoid users who considers an always on Bluetooth a security risk(so that's one negative for me too). In fact i had to recharge my batteries so that i could use my cell for the rest of the day after i had left it on for the whole night. So i would say that even though I like the idea of the application , i think in order to make it operationally viable for general use something needs to be done in order to reduce the power consumption and make it less taxing on my cell phone.
