    I lost my Sony Ericsson Xperia in Ennis on Friday night. If anyone came upon it, or knows somebody who did, I am offering a reward to get it back. I've blacklisted it so its of no use to anyone but me. Substantial reward to have it returned as I need it back.

    This is why I have an old 6290 or whatever its called. Dropped it in the pub a few times and it was always on the floor where I left it hours later. People rob new phones just for the sake of it.

    I know this won't help ye now, but...

    In the future, and for anyone else out there who might have a smart phone, there are a couple good apps to install on yer phone that will help with this very problem.

    First, if you have a Windows based smartphone you can get PREY (preyproject.com). It also works on laptops. It is feckin brilliant. It quietly 'phones home' to a website to keep track of where it is using WiFi or GPS. If you go to the website and report it missing it will let you know exactly where your device is. If there is a camera on the device it will start taking pictures every five minutes and sending them to you along with a link to Google maps showing you where it is. It's amazing.

    For people with other types of smart phones (like Symbian devices) you can get F-Secure Anti-Theft for free. If someone changes the SIM, it immediately txts you the new SIM number (to your home land-line or secondary number you set). You can remotely lock the phone by txting a code to it, or have it automatically go online and again using GPS or WiFi tell you exactly where it is.

    Again, not much help now, but these free anti-theft packages are a must. They are easy to install and well worth it sure. Plus, you can quietly track down your device and find the bastards who robbed it sure.
