and sends a sms to user predefined numbers. It can be downloaded via internet as well as can be transferred from computes via Bluetooth or data cables. This is a free antitheft software but you have to go its website (Vapssky.com)and register your mobile with its IMEI number to use it.

Find My iPhone
As per name it’s free software for recovering iPhones, but only available for iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2 directly. Other iPhone users can access it via Mobile ME subscription service. Its unique feature is that you can monitor it from web(Me.com) as well as from any other iPhone where this application is installed. This software also provides other facilities like locking phone or displaying text message or raising a finder alarm.  You can also backup your all data remotely by using this and make you phone to restore it as factory level settings.

This is also a product of Vapssky.com but this is made for blackberry mobiles and runs on BlackBerry OS 4.2 and above. But it only supports Tour, Storm, Bold and 8xx models. The main advantage fo this is that you can remotely acesss you phone via email web or even via sms and then you can track its location on goggle map , recover your contacts or delete your data.you can also  lock it remotely and raise a finding alarm which only be stopped when you unlock it

RecoveryCop
"
RecoveryCop" is made for Windows Mobile 6.x Devices and it’s a real time mobile physical security provider. This works like James bond and don’t leave any clue behind its working space so it’s completely untraceable by an unknown user of your mobile.it can record all the text messages send  by stolen mobile.

So wait for that day when this will available and till then use different software as per your vendor
