Additionally, along with being able to lock the phone and start having it send it's GPS location every minute or so, there should be another command that makes it start "screaming" - whatever trick can be used to get the most dB out of the speakers and headphone jack, flash the screen, hell, even get the camera flash to start strobing. This would make it a lot easier to pick your phone out of a crowd, and make you a lot less suspicious in the eyes of people who might be around.
That's a quick way to get the device seperated from its battery. =P

But ooh your camera flash thing gave me an idea. Since the n900 has a front video camera, any security app should have a way to remotely turn that on. Viola, picture to track down whoever stole your phone.
