That's exactly what I'm thinking too :-) Globally, the idea to protect the phone against the theft has already been expressed many time before: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-February/002910.html And even much more before (12 Dec 2006): http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-December/000748.html It could be good to summarize on the wiki all these ideas expressed before on this mailing list (google: site:openmoko.org phone thief). It seem to me that two ideas are news: - the overtaxed calling number (for the profit of the victim) - bluetooth localisation (with the headset or another phone) Regards, _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
