I have had about 20 odd mobile phones and in that about 14 are smartphones. Even today I have N900(had), Xperia X1, 3GS, myTouch 3G, an old O2 Atom, HTC touch and a Blackjack.

In all, I have never lost a mobile. So yesterday after reaching home from the airport I noticed that my precious N900 is missing. Frantic calls to the airport's lost and found and the taxi people yielded nothing.

The first 30 mins was the worst I have felt in a long time. Felt totally violated, the pictures, the contacts, the email, the phone. Out of habit I never do online banking on the phone so that's one off the list.

So I changed all the passwords, deactivated nuevasync to remove calendar and contacts from the phone. Changed all the IM passwords. Then realized this phone is a bigger nuisance to loose than many others. For example in an Android phone all I would have to do is change my google password. I hardly use any IM app and don't browse much to warrant a 'save password'. But this phone would log me in all the messengers as soon as its switched on. uh

T-Mobile said they can't do anything with the IMEI number, so paid $20 and got a new SIM today. Now, after the dust has settled. i need to find myself a phone. All the other phones won't have 3G with TMo and I hate the myTouch 3G

So I just finished ordering N900 from Amazon now (I actually made my friend stand in line @ the NY Nokia Store on its first day of release and get it to me). I would have probably got the N1 or waited for the HD2 (ha!) but the recent updates to the OS made me stick with N900.

Just wanted to share my exp and thoughts about this with fellow N9rs
