The Stolen Sidekick Network

You've lost your phone. All numbers, SMS's and birthday reminders of your closest are gone. What are you to do? There is nothing worse than losing your mobile.. even your wallet can be replaced with new credit-cards, your keys can be remade and the lock changed .. but your mobile?
The sidekick II has an interesting feature allowing the user to back up all activity on a server (in realtime) so that even if you lose your handset, your records will be intact on the server, and your next phone, when logging into the account will be able to download all the information you thought gone for good. A brilliant feature. Especially if you end up with a stolen sidekick and decide to take some pictures and call your friends which the real owners of the phone easily can get from the server after they've notified T-Mobile (the only carrier with the Sidekick in the US) that the phone is stolen.
About 72 hours ago this actually happened right here in Manhattan - the viral effort of a clever financial programmer has led to a grassroots following going after the kids with the stolen handset. An interesting study in mobile, instant social networks, user-generated location based tagging and virality.
The morale of the story - You find a phone; please call the voicemail leaving a message with your contact or accept calls from other people telling them you have the phone and want to return it. The world will be a safer and happier place.
