Biggest problem: That day there was track work going on, so it was some random bus company running the buses for that section.
Contacted all possible bus companies... nothing.

Railcorp told me that bus companies are supposed to send them all lost property, but most don't.

I assume that some random person got it. But I bet that whoever it is they can't even turn it on.

If there is a way to easily block or locate the phone using the IMEI, I'd like to know.
Contact your SIM operator (3? Vodafone? Telstra?) and ask them to block the IMEI of the device and the IMSI of the SIM card. They could probably contact other network operators and ask them to block the IMEI, I don't know.

Where are you in Australia? New South Wales? Sydney?

If you have some way to send commands to N900, you could try to get GPS coordinates or photographs. But I don' think you have. I don't have such a way myself...

Maybe, police has some lost-and-found or a way to locate phone using IMEI.
