True. But ones the thief removed your simcard I assume he will flash the firmware... And then the theft-protection will be gone as well :-(<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Buddy

I am pretty sure that if someone steals a phone, he wants to use it and put a simcard in the phone.<br>The phone can call my own ISP and connect on a standard dial-up line. The problem with sms is, you can sent it to your own number but can't acces the sms till you get your replacement simcard, and you can't get a new simcard with prepayed.

Hi sean and other OpenMoko-ers<br><br>Just read an article on Slashdot (?) about the fact that lots of <br>of our precious gadgets get stolen (or lost).<br><br>Not being a hardware guy, I was wondering if one could build/integrate/stick
<br>to them some kind of 'anti-proximity' detector.<br><br>This is a device that consists of a a central - costly ? - pockettable <br>detector (that probes for a set of devices within a know list every now and<br>
then) and which you put in your pocket, or wallet or on your keychain.<br><br>Around that device a 'cloud' of periferals exists (Neo, wallet, Phone, <br>Laptop, ...) each tagged with a cheap ID which gets probed by the central.
<br><br>If any of the periferals fall out of range, the central beeps warning me - the<br>owner of these nice periferals - that I am loosing one. <br><br>I do not know if this idea is at all feasible (battery consumption, size, ...)
<br>or perhaps it even exists, but I wanted to float this idea.<br><br>Suggestions comments welcome<br><br>W<br><br>_______________________________________________ <br>OpenMoko community mailing list<br><a href="mailto:community@lists.openmoko.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
