Have you tried using an app to find it? There are some for that exact purpose that you can remotely download and use to track your phone

I was too late.. by the time i got to a pc to install plan b, the thief had already swapped sim card. And considering i had just flashed weui, i didn't have the time to restore all my apps prior to it getting stolen. :mad:

My condolences :(

It is amazing how great this phone is.. still kickin..

Any idea where you may go from here? if you have an upgrade you have quite a few nice options at least.

My suggestion is - backup and keep simple 9-dot lock.
Also I don't keep any financial info on the phone. NFC will fail.

I can't bring myself to ditch the Captivate just yet, though the new HTC One X looks pretty awesome. The windshield mount and desktop stand are one of the best I have ever used thats why I can't tear myself away just yet.

After rooting my Captivate and installing a new ROM (Slim ICS), it's like a new phone.

The One X does look cool, but I'm surprised there's no SD slot. Still, probably no issue for most people.

We'll see how soon the shiny wears off, but ICS on my Captivate is fast, functional and just really nice. So I can wait for a more optimal-for-me phone.

Craigslist usually has them for about $100-150. Sometimes you can find one that's boot looped someone wants to sell, thinking its permanently borked.

That's horrible! You have all our hopes behind you. As said a couple posts up they can be found relatively cheap on Craigslist. Sometimes cheaper than $100 if you're really lucky or they looped it.

Wow, that sucks. After reading this I'm going to be extra paranoid about not losing my phone for a while. :p

I feel your pain man! Mine was stolen a little over a year ago too... I know the hoe-bag that stole it too, but couldn't prove it :-( I have since gotten another one of course, but thinking about it still pisses me off!
