Stolen Phone...

[TheJamsh]

Happens to everyone doesnt it? Thought it would never happen to me.

All my numbers... organised stuff the whole lot... nicked by some light-fingered b*st*rd. All theifs should have their hands cut off.

[Steeveeo]

Happens, I had my Sansa Clip stolen recently.

To add insult to injury, someone *Ammo*ing NINJA'D it and took it right from the table top right next to 3 of my friends...

I have no such problems as I got rid of my mobile and haven't needed one since.

For that matter I barely use phones. For christs sake, if you can't say something to someones face then you probably shouldn't be saying it at all.

Unless you can't find them

I've never had a phone, though I'll probably begin to need one at some point soon. I can understand how infuriating it is, my old iPod got nicked not long ago. Lost an Alkaline Trio and an InMe album with it too, they weren't on my PC. I've got them back now, and got a better iPod, but I still can't put linux on it.

If mine was ever stolen they would not be able to figure it out.
As well as if mine is powered then I know its location to within 3 meters anywhere on the planet there is service, thus easy to find...

Damn you OvermindDL1 and you're unbelievably cool power toys

The tracker is you're own software i take it?

[OvermindDL1]

Nah, Google Latitude. No point reinventing the wheel, especially when it is free.

that i didnt know you could do. is that specific to youre phone only?

[Red Devil]

That'd be great in case your kid gets grabbed.

[OvermindDL1]

Actually with Sprint (since they are who I have, I can speak about them), you can pay like $3/month or so and always know where your phone is down to about 10 meters, great for your kids phones.
Google Latitude uses the GPS on your phone so it is more accurate (about 3 meters to 1 foot considering how good your GPS is), but it requires an internet connection, so if you already have the 'net on your phone, it is better, but it drains the battery faster since it uses the GPS.

It looks like google one is stuck to only certain types of phone though. You also have to accept a text message of follow a link on the phone when it looks for you i think, not good.

[OvermindDL1]

No text messages that I have seen.  Just all automatic.  And no I am not giving any of your view access to my latitude link.

What would make yours so complicated?
