Can’t find your BlackBerry? Berry Locator to the rescue!

How many times have you forgotten where you placed your car keys/wallet/purse/sunglasses/watch/mobile phone? Well, if you’re like us, you’re always scrambling to figure out exactly where those sneaky buggers run off to. They really have minds (and legs) of their own.
Scatter-brained BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) owners have a friend in the newly launched Berry Locator. No matter where your BlackBerry is hiding, all you have to do is send a simple email (with a specific trigger-message) and Berry Locator will make it sound-off its location (even if it’s in silent mode). If you happen to have abandoned your BlackBerry somewhere far-off, Berry Locator will display your email’s message on the display, so you can include instructions for how to get your BlackBerry back in your hands (as long as the person that finds it feels the same way).
Berry Locator works with your BlackBerry’s GPS hardware (if equipped, of course) to relay its exact location – it won’t tell you if it’s under the couch, but it will tell you if it’s at the coffee house.
The free trial is, well, free. A full-version of Berry Locator will run you $4.99.
Sweeeeeet

how do I send a message to my cell phone using locator if lost.
Just go to any computer…… Duh
I just purchased a Storm and I get an error message when trying to load Berry Locator to it. Is there an update that will work for the Storm? As you can imagine, it is even more important to be able to find my Berry now that my Berry is a Storm!! Oh, and I’m using 4.7.0.85 (shhhh)
