Very interesting. Openstreetmap already has a webserver that
looks up locations by URL, such as:

Would such an URL work on a MMS-capable phone? This URL is

It isn't always thievery. What do you do if you find a phone?
It is easier to return if it states who owns it as soon as you turn it
on.

I don't know why you guys assume that there will be another user. A

that I think is more probable:
The thief steals the phone, immediately turns it off by taking out the
battery. He then takes it to some 'dealer'. The dealer says, 'what the

therefore i think, the proposed label inside the back cover,

would be far
more promising.
Would sound like a trap for the thief, no? (even if it's worth trying).

I think that the majority of thieves is not technically inclined, thus
our FR is _already_ rather useless for him/her..
For instance,
i'm assuming we don't want to brick it, because the thief is not very
likely to return the phone if it doesn't work, nor can we track it if
it isn't charged. He'(ll just dump the phone.

Apparently yes: here in Oz you can go to your telco and get the phone
disabled if its been stolen - (tahts the phone itself, not the SIM is
prevented from connecting - via IMIE I think). The cops can get
location info, thoughs it is apparently more like somewhere about
there in accuracy.
