Have you ever lost your cell phone - here is how to find it

Just ran across a great app for my Droid called Lookout. It will:

1. LOCATE: Activate my gps and locate my phone within meters on a google map from an internet connected PC

2. SCREAM: Turn on a loud and flashing alarm even if my volume is off, so once I determine the approximate location from "Locate" I can turn on the SCREAM and find my phone

3. VIRUS PROTECTION: Checks all my downloaded apps

4. BACKUP for my data.

The premium version will also lock the phone remotely and wipe all the data if I want, in case it is stolen and can't be found in time.

I have no affiliation with Lookout, but love the app and thought I'd share.

www.mylookout.com works with Android, Blackberry and Windows mobile. Enjoy
:D :D

Yes, or if you've turned off your phone. In both cases you are SOL, but I still think it's WAY better than nothing.
