Ben, did you ever get your phone back? I tried calling you but there was no answer.

MobileMe tracking works fine most people don't realize that you have to turn it on in the settings tab in phone. It's not on by default.

Just a thought for all you passcode users: I found an iPod with a passcode on it last month. It was in mint condition but I couldn't get any info from it even if I synced to a Mac. I was determined to get this back to the owner, so I took it to the Apple Store and they got an email address for the owner after looking up the serial number. Some one less motivated would not have gone the distance to get you your iPod/iPhone back.

I could not live in a major city and not have some sort of phone tracking software setup... Not very smart.

Mobile phone operators could easily help to track and weed out stolen phones. It's bad for their business though, they want stolen phones in circulation and you to get a new one

So, it's been a couple of days, and still no phone. I had tried calling it when I began this thread, but it went straight to voicemail. I suspended service, but started it again a few times to make more attempts. Always straight to voicemail. The phone was fully charged when it was lost. I'm assuming the worst. No word back from the cab companies; no return attempts have been made.
Luckily my friend in LA has an old iPhone and is shipping it over to me to use for awhile. Weird part is, even though I feel naked without it, subway rides and elevators are almost intolerable, I'm starting to feel liberated.

I always fret this happening but somehow I have had iPhone 1 for like 4 years already , Putting the key lock will prevent people from dabbing into your info as the phone restores after 10 attempts, hope you at least had key lock .
- nobody uses thatraf

- I had no fucking key lock. I'm so pissed at myself. No precautions whatsoever.monospaced

This happened to my girlfriend in NYC once before. Just dial your lost iphone from another phone and see if anyone picks up and meet up somewhere to retrieve your phone. Hopefully you get lucky. It worked like a charm for us.
