Lost phone

[dougo]

I lost my phone (T-Mobile G1). The last time I clearly remember having it was around noon, in the 3rd floor men's room in the MIT student center (near our MIT Mystery Hunt team's headquarters), and it's quite possible that I left it there.

I'm not sure what all I need to do about it. I'm going to ask about a lost & found tomorrow, and talk to the cleaning staff. I've tried calling my number, but no answer (and I'm sure the battery's dead by now anyway). I'm a little worried about what passwords I might have on the phone, though unless someone is a dedicated identity thief I doubt they could/would do much damage. Also, should I contact T-Mobile? Do I need to cancel my number, or can I keep my number if I end up getting a new phone?

Has anyone dealt with a lost smartphone recently? Any tips for how to deal with it?

Latitude location

[matthew.gray.org (from livejournal.com)]

Right now, Latitude has your location ("10 hours ago") as the west side of the MIT campus, with error bars basically from Mass Ave to the Hyatt, so consistent with the Student Center, or a student picking it up and bringing it back to any of the west campus dorms.

I'll let you know if there's any location updates after 7am Sunday (when this seems to be from).

Do you have Location History enabled?
