On 09-01-2010 09:39 AM I pondered.....
Looks like I'll have to be one of the "unlucky ones". I just hope it is in fact new and not one returned due to problems.
I joined this community to learn about the phone & apps. All the messages of early d's took my mind off the prize, the DROID X! I've been with Verizon Wireless over 20 years now and think they are a pretty good company. They've come thru for me several times when I needed them.

Copied from a search for "Where's my Droid" on google just now.
I was immediatley crushed until I realized my GPS was still on. Using my brothers iPhone I texted the "Wheres my Droid" password to my phone. Now with the iPhone I couldn't get the link to google maps to work but I did get the Long/Lat coordinates and using a computer and google maps I was able to pinpoint the location of my things to the cops. In less than an hour the police had all my things. I had to wait till today to get everything back from evidence.
The would be robber was a student who had just finished his exam, they would not release his name due to his age. He must have seen my laptop through the window and decided to snag it.
I called my local news paper to tell them what happened but I have yet to see it in the police blotter, which isn't surprising because they report less than half of crimes in the area.
I love this phone

What does this mean? I haven't seen anything about this any where else.

Assume if you text the password to your phone from someone elses phone it will return the GPS coordinates - should you lose it.

Go to the market and type Where's my droid. There will be an app of that. Download it if you want. Basically if you loose your phone & it is set to silent you can text the phone with the secret word and it will start to ring. You can go into the settings and put a particular word like Lost. You text your phone with the word Lost from another phone and it will ring. I have put my phone on silent and couldn't find it. I text my phone with the word and found it. *phew* Wish other verizon phones had this option

True that. I advise don't put a word that people text you often with, like your name or hi. If you say are sleeping & someone texts you that word (by accident, the person doesn't know) then your phone will go off and awake you.
