So as I’ve blogged about previously I have a new Windows Phone. Though, I did trade in my model from the HTC Surround to the LG Quantum. I wanted the keyboard.
Today a feature that comes with every Windows Phone 7, saved my butt. It started out with leaving a practice for my son’s 4th grade basketball team that I coach. I put my phone and wallet in a bag that my assistant coach brought to return some items. I was thinking I’d keep the bag for a few days while I got the stuff home. So the assistant walked out and started unloading the bag in my trunk and we went our own ways.
Then I realized I didn’t have my phone. I started back tracking my steps and I was worried that I put my phone on the top of my car before I started driving. So I turned around and drove slowly, looking back the 2 blocks I drove. No luck.
Then I wondered if it was in my assistants bag and I rushed home because I know of the feature in the phone… I got home and logged into WindowsPhone.com and clicked the “Find my Phone” feature. Within 30 seconds a map was displayed showing the phone was in my assistants driveway!
I called him and told him what was up, and I went and got my phone… and my wallet 
. What was his reaction? “Man, you’re like somebody from the future.”
It saved my butt! Here is what it looks like showing the phone at my house:
