Default [Q] Location Service when Lost

What is the best app to track your phone after it has been stolen or lost?
I was using Wavesecure a couple of months ago, but stopped because my desire isn't worth much now.
But for my brand new One X I think it is a good addon. .

Thanks!

I use PhoneLocatorPro and it's been excellent. Paid app but worth it. Plenty on the market read the reviews for each one.

A very good one, from the makers of Lookout Mobile Security (which also has tracking ability) is called Plan B.

If your phone is lost or stolen, quickly get to a computer and install Plan B via the marketplace website. It'll install on the phone, turn all radios on and email you location updates every minute for 5 minutes. Works very well.

So this is basicly a backup plan? I have been using Lookout aswell, but it isn't good anymore?

Dont forget the Avast one , free, and if you have root, it survives to hard reset and i believe even to custom roms flashing.
you may locate, lock, erase, make a siren shouting, it sends the last sms/call history
