Yes. I totally understand. I just pointed out that the phone will at least not be worth as much to the thief as the owner said. |

The problem is that the phone can still be sold abroad and it will work fully, or it can be used for spare parts - the phone would still sell for a fair amount of money for things like the screen, camera unit, facia, etc.
I can only imagine that sick feeling you'd get thinking about the thief looking at your texts, pictures, etc., especially if some of it's very personal to you. I'd imagine though that the thief would do a master reset or delete all data before trying to sell the phone to remove any identifiable information on it.

Are u sure it got stolen? I mean, could'nt it have fallen from u're pocket while skating? I think a wise thing to do would be to check with the lost and founds if u haven't already done so. |

i used to have an gps "finder" (those things they use in american movies to see where is the thing) in my old ZV10, the guy stole it from me the other day the cops brought it back to me. i've also placed the gps "finder" on my k750, w800 and k800, all i do is get a leather cover and place it there.

I think people shouldn't leave alot of Precious data ie, Photo's on there Memory Sticks in case someone does take there phones.
In a way it's is your fault you lost it:
1, No Pin prevention.
2, You went ice-skating with your phone switched on?
I guess you will look back at this now when you get your new phone,
all I suggest is nextime do as what ive typed up above and you will be ok

What the....? It's her fault that she lost it???
Well, I guess it'd be your own fault if your vehicle got stolen, because you left the gas in your car, and didn't put a clamp on the tires, so it can't be driven.
I never turn off my phone, save power cycling it, because I get calls all the time, and my job requires me to be available at all times. I can't afford to turn off my phone if I'm going to go do some recreational activity. Telling her that it's kind of her fault for not turning off the phone is ridiculous. And not everyone wants to block the SIM, that's not her fault either.
It's like saying that in a drive-by shooting, that it's the fault of the people who got shot. No, it's the person who committed the act. And it's the thief's fault, NOT hers. |

I can really relate to you contro1 as well my K750i wasnt stolen but it fell out my pocket in a taxi and I never got it back. All of my private stuff was on there including prom pictures I never backed up onto my computer.
Im sorry for your loss and I also had to pay for another sim card from O2 which cost me 9.99.
This whole phenomena is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a government agenda.

I am a bit curious about the GPS "finder" you are writing about.
Can you describe it in more detail? Do you have a picture of it? Where do you find it? What does it cost?
Thanks a lot in advance!

@control1: I'm truly sorry to read that your mobile phone has been stolen, especially considering the loss of your personal information, pictures and data.
But I'm glad to read that you have got a new replacement.
Good luck in the future.

I also experienced being pickpocketed. I was shopping for a car wiper in a store inside a mall and when I got out of that store my K608i is gone. I didn't feel anything in my pants pocket that I was already being pickpocketed. I was very sad because my phone was just 2 weeks old. Damn those thieves!!! I got it locked though and got a K750i for a replacement. Not a 3G phone though but it's still excellent. |
