Most of us are never more than a metre away from our phones, which makes forgetting it at home even more disastrous. I Left My Phone At Home is insurance just for that day.

I Left My Phone At Home is an application that runs on your Windows® Mobile phone that lets you see and respond to your missed phone calls and text messages when you are away from your phone.

The application lets you:

Track ALL your missed calls and text messages, even if you’re not at your phone.
Respond to all your calls and text messages by simply typing a response.
Set an away message to be sent to all missed calls and text messages, automatically!
See your upcoming appointments so you don’t miss important meetings!
Never miss that important call, text message, or meeting again!

The innovative software is just $4.99 and available from Marketplace here.

Best of luck to the owners/developers, but I still like Dashwire for something similar.
Hoping for the best

Someday, I may lose my phone, so I need something that will remotely

1-Lock the phone solid

2-Do a remote wipe (if I wish)

3-Display a message with my home phone number and a reward to whomever found my phone.

This is worth $4.95 to me.

Developers, go!

There are apps that do numbers 1 & 2 in your post, but I'm not sure about Number 3. The only problem is they are available for BlackBerry devices so I'm not sure if those developers make a WinMo version of their apps. I have read about them on Crackberry.com, you could try searching there, and then contact the devs for WinMo versions of the same thing.

Good luck.

Also, I forgot to mention this but it is very important. The "I Forgot My Phone at Home" app in the above blog is for that exactly: forgetting your phone at home and then being able to 'comunicate with it via computer.

The apps you requested, and I responded about, are for the situations in which a person may have actually lost the phone. Therefore, the apps would be considerably different.

And just a correction: the price on Marketplace is $1.99 not that $4.99 that you mentioned.

Version 1.2.1 is $4.99, though… fyi. Free upgrades to v1.2.1 when it finally comes out on Marketplace <grin>
