Got this in from Vlad on the subject of making sure my new E90 is never lost for long:

Hi Ewan!

There’s an app called Guardian by Symbian Toys (Marco Bellino is the name of the developer) that’s under heavy development and in closed beta right now, but the launch seems imminent. It does pretty much everything you asked for. Zach Epstein reviewed one of the previous beta versions here:

Available right now is Phone Guardian by Symbian Guru (sadly, not Ricky, but the company). It has some of the functionality that Guardian will have.

Needless to say, both these require to be installed on the phone before it gets lost or stolen, but they might be of help with your new E90.

Hope the new E90 doesn’t go the way of its predecessor.

Cheers!
Vlad

Nice one Vlad, I’ll need to try that one out.

Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas on this post, I also need to check out Txt2lock.com and Yougetitback.com as well.
