Phone finder app

[First Lady]

Company I work for is looking at getting phone finder apps put on all the phones in case they are lost and got me thinking about putting one on my phone too.

Any recommendations?

Also does anyone know if I install something like this does it mean I have to have to "GPS location" feature turned on? I don't really like the idea of every Facebook and Twitter post being tagged with where I'm at.

I have a Blackberry, but the guys at work (which I will have to get too) are on Telus smart phones. (Android OS I'm guessing)

I have Android Lost. In testing, it seems to work well. I haven't lost my phone, yet.

That's sounds pretty cool. I like this from the FAQ

Why is this page so ugly?
I'm an engineer and not a webdesigner. And the site and app was made in a one week project after working hours, so I have only spend around 20 hours on it. Ehhh... I guess that I have used a little more than 20 hours now ;-)

Do you want a centrally managed system, so you need to go to the "IT guy" to locate a phone, or does everyone use their own phone and would just manage this themselves?

If you would be doing this for individual phones then use Blackberry Protect for your Blackberry, unless you have BES running and then you can't.

That has nothing to do with the phone and everything to do with the app settings.
