Have a T-Mobile Sidekick? Protect it in Boston

sidekickHaving a phone stolen is one of the most upsetting things that can happen.  One minute you have your phone with all your contacts in it at your disposal and the next it’s just… gone.  We know this happens in big cities but we rarely hear any statistics about it that identify what the most popular phones are to thieves.

Mobile Magazine has noted such statistics in the Boston area and they surprised me.  Was the iPhone the most stolen phone?  BlackBerry Storm?  T-Mobile G1?  Nope, none of the above.  The most stolen phone in Boston is the T-Mobile Sidekick.

This is surprising but maybe a bit telling too.  I would imagine that teenagers are the biggest group of Sidekick owners so maybe they are just careless with their Sidekick?  Or maybe they are stealing them from each other?  The statistics don’t indicate how many of the more than 300 stolen Sidekicks disappeared at school but I’ll bet a lot of them.
