    Erase ALL your data? Doesn't sound like a good thing to me. Whenever I find someone left there cellphone, I've called the most promising contacts to let them know and get it back. I've done this about three times, just myself... perhaps better to delete "media" (pics, movies, etc).

    • Yea. I remember one time someone found me passed out in a stairwell - they used my phone to call the most recent ones.flavorful
    • Allows you to have more control over what happens though.juhls
    • ones ... my friends came down from a few houses to pick me up, haha.flavorful
    • or better yet, stop taking pictures of your "conquests" with your fucking phone7point34
    • I don't remember, I remember the story being told to me.flavorful
    • Uh?flavorful
    • you can get it backmonospaced
    • I think it's more for if you are looking for it, because you have to be conscious to erase the data.juhls

    • @mono: yeah, but say someone found it (not stole it), they have no way of contacting youismith
    • I think you need MobileMe to do all this stuff.juhls
    • ismith, it's more for security purposes. Some people don't want any of that data to be seen by others. If it's that sensitive,juhls
    • sensitive, they may have a backup somewhere else anyway.juhls
    • That's a good point though. You have to use your own discretion to determine when and if you are going to erase itjuhls
    • I think it should leave your own personal vcard. Just an email address/home phone, something.ismith
    • Maybe a big "PLEASE RETURN TO" message locked into the screen.ismith
    • yupjuhls
