Because they would still need the password to sync with it or unlock the keys to get anything more, unless im missing a whole method of retreiving peoples data from hacked phones here.

Edit - Beten to a reply again, must remember to refresh pages more often. lol.
That was my thought exactly - what does not showing the name matter.... But someone else informed me that the os can't have access to any of the data in order to truly be secure. So its not a matter of purposefully hiding the caller's id so much as being unable to retrieve it due to the os being unable to access it, I guess.
