How hard would this be to build into a ROM, with complete config so it would survive a hard reset of the phone?

The average thief probably wouldn't know how to reset the phone, but if he did, one could still track the stolen phone after a hard reset.

Damn, this response is NOT what I wanted to hear. This SUX!

Response from Sprite:

Hi PPC6700freak,

Unfortunately Microsoft's Mobile Internet Explorer doesn't support Javascript. So it can't show web pages with Google Earth or even Virtual Earth.

The solution is to install Opera's browser on your phone, or any other browser that supports Javascript.

Many thanks

Julian@Sprite

Why dont you just use google maps on the phone?

ppc6700freak · #38 (**permalink**) 03-25-2008, 09:53 PM

That is what I am currently forced to do. It is a pain in the ***! You have to copy the coordinates form the SMS. Lunch Google Maps. Choose search. Paste the coordinates into the search box. Then edit the string to remove Lat: and Long:.

here is a sample: Lat: xx.285102, Long: -xx.482867

Google maps does not like the this, it wants xx.285102 -xx.482867 only.

I have requested that the coordinates be printed in this format.

I am HOPING they "Sprite Software" adds hooks to launch Google Maps when the SMS response if received.

I have posted this on there forum.

"hey, says here you have my phone"
"huh?"
"yeah that phone your holding.. its mine, im going to need it back, pop off the back cover ill read you the esn"
"this is mine i just found it"
"sigh.."

*takes phone*
