Stratosphere Update

My wife just received the update (SW Version i405.FF1) today and I have been able to locate all the changes except for the Face Unlock.  Where is it located?

If you're able to get this working, I'd be interested to hear about your experience. I'm generally reluctant to lock my phone with a password, PIN, or pattern, all of which are easily forgotten. So far, though, I haven't lost track of my face, so this might be a possibility.

I just set up the face recognition lock. Good idea in theory...however, in practice, not so good. You have to fit your face into an oval on the screen. It has to be done just so or it doesn't capture it. It then took me about 15 seconds to get my face in the same place so the phone would recognize me and unlock. I figure I would have missed the call. Also, I can't imagine being someplace where I want to discreetly look at my phone. The face recognition is a bit obvious when you have to hold the phone up in front of you until it recognizes you 😕

I was trying to get to work last night.  It would capture my face and then display a message that I should try another screen lock.
