That's right ... would be nice to have some sort of bios password, And still both of us would probably flash the frimware, an avarage thief wouldn't probably do this. Especially if he doesn't expect this.<br><br>
An other option is that you can register your phone as 'stolen', and the anti-theft software is reinstalled after first software update for the phone with your IMEI code.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/30/07,

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 :-(<div><span class="e" id="q_1137e76a13c46d36_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

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.

<div><span> The problem is of course that you can't sent sms/emails if there is no sim.<br>And even IF there is a sim, you cant always sent emails since you need to have a data plan.
<br>SMS of course is an option.<br><br><div><div><span><span class="gmail_quote"> On 6/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Buddy</b> <<a href="mailto:buddy.baars@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

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)">
