The only thing I need to prevent theft is me. Check my picture, that's what happens if you try to take my N900. I love this phone I will go Rambo to get it back.
Joke aside. Great idea, but what if you disable the 2G/3G radio as a way to connect to the internet? (sorry if this was asked earlier in the thread)

very good tool.
Could be added in the OVI store !
One cool option would be in case of theft to protect personal data :
providing a public key to the server when you detect your phone is stolen makes the phone to encrypt all personnal data with it.
You will be able to uncrypt it if your phone gets back with the private key (you never gave to anyone even the website).
Also, uploading your encrypted personnal data to the net to recover them would be nice.
I would pay for such an app !!!
If you familiar with linux try to use BackupPC server. It is great solution. It is making backup my phone once per day. If you will need extra backup you can run it manually.....
Automatic daily backup take around 1 minute. And all your data available on-line....

1. Open this script, set your phone number in variable (my_number)
2. Run this script once, you'll get your imsi code in message
3. Open script again set the IMSI code in (my_imsi)
4. Change the variable (my_number), set the number where to send the message if phone is stollen.
5. Edit the crontab and set desired period to run this script.
Also you can read a comments in the script configure it freely and also can change it to.
If you have any ideas tell me or join to my project.
You'll agree with me: The thief in many cases has no tech knowledge. So after stealing your phone he will change the SIM card, so when when phone is on this script will check the IMSI that in script with IMSI of current SIM card. If IMSI in script does not equal with IMSI of current SIM card it will send a message to number which you set in the script (my_number - variable) in given periods (crontab)
In my country (Azerbaijan) it's easy to find the stollen phone if you know the phone number and / or IMSI code. Thiefs in Azerbaijan has no tech abilities. If he would be a "techman" he wouldn't steal my phone.
