Are smart phones so smart?

I recently had my "smart phone" taken out of my bag in Birmingham. I had the iPhone 4... It literally had my whole life on it, which is great if I have it, but what happens when it gets taken by a stranger.
Even if you block the phone it possible to get the phone unblocked for some random person to use.
It worries me that someone in Birmingham is now enjoying my phone while I am using an OLD SCHOOL nokia (im talking snake old).
So my question is, are smart phones as smart as we make them out to be? The information I had on mine is now lost and floating around somewhere. It would be really smart if they could invent a way to delete all the information on the phone after it has been blocked after being stolen, as I cant help but be worried at who is looking at my pictures and videos that were stored on MY smart phone, which is now lost forever.

    Interesting this - as business people we have our phones synched and backed up to our computers. Is this something that would be easy to do - back up to 'clouds', your laptops?
    My daughter had major trauma when her laptop crashed which had her 'life' in music on it - so I bought her a zip drive - only about £20 - which takes millions of photos, downloads etc
    Hope you recover your life soon!
