  'Kiddo' :-), don't be a wise guy! I said, what I said I said. "that
last bit" is in Jörg's reference, not in my text, so I *can't* quote
"where I said that", because *I* didn't say it!

  See!? *Read* my responses. Read what they say and don't 'read' what
they don't say.

  That out of the way:

  Again, which buttons is in the part of Jörg's reference to which I
pointed. For my response/article see footnote [1], which you snipped.

  As I pointed out elsewhere in the thread, it's a theft deterrant
against theft of your *data*, obviously not against theft of your phone.
After "pressing the right buttons", your *data* is gone/wiped.

  That's why I said, I think 45 Euros is a rip-off.

  Poster AJL seems to have practical experience with this (giving his
old devices to his (grand) kids, etc.), so I have asked him for details.

  I've addressed that issue in another response:
