Hi Michael,

Perhaps I should explain, the user of the site, who will be the owner of the
phone will have volunteered that data in the first place, I just want to be
able to check that it is that actual phone that is logging on, this data is
available throught HTTP Headers from the phone. I do agree with you on the
privacy issue.

Thanks anyway

Mark
