some ***hole stole it.

i had lock on at the time, i had phone protection lock on, and i had pin code lock on.

what should i do now?
i don't want to IMEI block it in case it gets handed in somewhere. but otherwise.. what do u guys recommend?

(ps. don't tell me i'm ****ed. i figured that myself thanks).

if you have all those locks the person that stole should leave it somewhere... but how will anyone know its yours? did you write your home number and adress in the phone?
i would use the imei lock cause if they get around your locks, they get a 3650 for free!!

I didnt set any locks on my 3650.If in 3650 were identifier of a finger,that will be cool.

I suggest you have the phone locked(IMEI) coz I doubt that the phone will ever be returned to you... Some steal it to use it or if not, sell it to other people.

i know :(

oh well i'm switching to an NEC e606 (3G) now.. hope it is good.

In Portugal you activate a service to locate other people. Try asking to your operator or police if they can trace your phone!

Now, you're not a 3650 user anymore... hehehe! Anyway, good luck on your new phone! Hope it can replace your 3650!

thanks guys.

if only i had that security program.. would've bein ideal to emit the high pitched beep. coincidentally i suggested that idea to domi (gosymbian) recently.. not because i knew of that program but because i thought it would've saved my phone.

anyway i probably won't be a series60 user anymore. i'm gonna wait a bit (financial lacking) and possibly get the i500 or d700. more likely the i500 as i've wanted a palm for a while, and the idea of a stylus-driven phone appeals to me more than having to use manual keypad entry again, but then if i500 is too pricey i'll just get d700.

but i got a q for u guyz, do u reckon' the d700 will be able to use my 3650 fone book which i backed up? i mean i backed it up but i have no other 3650s!! or do u kno of a way to view it?

im not so familiar with d700 that you're talking about, however, if you backed up your files, there's no way that you can view it unless you restore it back to N3650 or to other compatible phones or devices. ( i haven't tried it with other device except for N3650).

samsung sgh-d700 i think. its nearly identical to 3650 'cept its got symbian series 60 6.1 and has zoom ont he camera.

everything else 'cept for lack of bluetooth is identical.

Hmm maybe u can consider getting a second hand NK3650? should be cheaper compared to a new one?

20-06-2003, 08:04 AM
go to the dial screen and type this > *#06#
you will see your phones unique id or serial number. each phone has its own number.it is 15 digit.write it down somewhere safe.if you lose your handphone sent this number to your network provider or to nokia to disable the phone.

hmmm aybe u didnt understand his 3650 is LOSTTTTTTTTT

20-06-2003, 01:06 PM
Idiot!! If his 3650 wasn't lost it wouldnt have to lock it, but normal people went phones are stoled they go to the network and block it :evil: , if the phone is unlocked for any networks, what is probrably the situation, so i think it can not be blocked...

So he know that the phone is lost(normal to people who dont care with owns things), but the imei can be viewed in the box were the phone was bought!!!

20-06-2003, 03:23 PM

After you switch the sim, you must send the activating SMS to the phone.. then it starts displaying/alarming.. Cheers

I think i will put a little explosive charge in my phone. If the correct PIN is not input with 45 seconds of request... well someone will lose a hand. Boy I better never try to turn my phone one when I'm drunk.... hehe

there is this website(findamobile.com) that allows you to track your phone. However you need to have your phone in the 1st place to accept the pin and to be able to locate your phone but once you've done that you can find your phone whenever you want! You can also fin other peoples phones if they accept. Its pretty cool and very accurate. Great if you're paranoid

:cry:
if only that wasn't the case...

*edit*
are you sure that this is not just for the sim?
how does it work?

05-07-2003, 12:33 PM
Ur fone is gone m8. If they can't get it workin' they'll just throw it away. Inform the police and your insurance. Thats all you can do.

First you register and then send a text activating the account. You then go onto add new contact, type in your own number. Yoyu'll get a txt message which asks you if you want to accept that this person (you) can see where you are. You then just click on search for person and just like magic it will give you your position to within metres!

Wish they had something like that here in the US. Would have come in handy a couple years ago when someone stole my old 3390.

^ no offence intended but a 3390 loss isn't 'that big'..

i loved my 3650. oh well.

i still haven't found a suitable replacement.. i want something which can do all the same stuff but i don't want it to be exactly the same.. if i'm going to pay for a new phone, it might as well be 'new' to me too.

i'm also suprised my topic is still here.. hehe..

anyone got suggestions?
i'm stuck between P800 and 6600. Both look good.

I will report it to my provider and have it locked. To tell you the truth guys, I am very attached to material things especially cellular phones.

Well, we cannot do nothing and the person who stole it can have the phone but he will surely go to hell for doing that. hehehe...bad boy...! :evil:

unfortunately IMEI blocking isn't very effective in australia. its not 'cross-network' despite claims it is..

and if i'm not mistaken aren't there those kits people can buy off the net to change IMEI's which defeats the point? and to make matters worse i think they can reflash the phone can't they thus clearing any passwords and such there may be. oh well.

i know i shouldn't be so negative but there is close to 0% chance you'll get your phone back if you lose it in australia... despite all those 'phone security' claims by the govt.
