I didnt see any postings aobut this awsome feature... so.. FYI:

Resetting and Locking Your Phone through SMS
When your phone is lost or stolen, you can erase your important personal
information (such as phone book entries, call history and messages) and
lock your phone by sending a special formatted SMS message to your
phone.
Send the following format from your computer:
\ \ RESET **<Passcode>** RESET
<Passcode> – your defined passcode.
Default Passcode is 11-digit ESN(Electronic Serial Number)
which is written on the package or phone itself.
The locked phone will display the following message:
“If found, please call PCS Customer Solutions 1-888-211-4727.”

Yeah I read about this feature on the 5150, actually. I was wondering if anybody has ever used it. I hear that in order to unlock the phone again you have to take the phone to the sprint store. <sigh> That would be cool if you could unlock it with a special password or something

I'd personally use this feature if I was completely unsure about where I left the phone...
