I lost my 9360. How screwed am I?
So last week I was at a resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
My Curve on Bell didn't have service (I don't know why, My mom's 9700 on Telus did), so I had the radio turned off. I hadn't been using it, So I had it turned off completely and for the last few days kept it in the safe. I only took it out once, and that was to charge it the day before I left. I put it immediately into the safe when it was done.
yesterday when I was almost finished packing, I could not find it. It was not in the safe, which I was absolutely sure I had left it. My mom did start packing first, but she didn't recall seeing it. We checked every inch of that room, after which we assumed it must have been in the bags (I can't think of anything else that could've happened, and I didn't think it would've been taken from the safe).
Got home today, it was not in any of the bags. I have no Idea where it is.
I had put a password on it, but I didn't do any encrypting and i didn't take out the SD card. I called Bell and had them disconnect it so if it is stolen I don't get charged.
I believe that since it was password protected, after ten attempts they would have no choice but to wipe it, safely removing my information (I just changed my email and Facebook passwords to be safe, and It never remembered my banking password). I do have pictures, music, and videos on the sd card, but they aren't a priority or confidential. Well, except for the porn which sort of reveals my preferences :cant-watch:
I can't honestly think of any way this would end up affect me worse then if my phone had simply been obliterated in a firey deathball. I have been looking for a cheap replacement (a used 9360 is listed for $150, a 9790 is listed for $120, etc there's not much selection in Kijiji lethbridge). I think I could hold over until the launch of BB10, but I was hoping to wait until my contract was cheaper to renew.

You should be fine, phone will get wiped after 10 tries unless your password was qwerty or 12345. Not sure if it wipes the SD hard.

It is to bad you had the radio turned off, BBprotect would have come in handy, if yo had it installed. Did you have it set to show an owner name and a phone number where you could be reach if it was found?

9810 is not a bad phone. Maybe the management stole the phone. I have seen that happen once. Lol, porn xD
Anyway, all the best ;)
My suggestion is that you get a feature phone and run your life on till bb10.
