The SmartFind is a bit different from the Zomm, though, because the Zomm just a little transmitter on your keychain that syncs to your phone. The Smartfind is a relatively large transmitter that talks to another transmitter on your keychain -- it has an extra component. But you could use it to find the keys, that you then use to remind you about your cellphone! Similar ideas to deal with similar problems.

No departure from our house comes without a ten minute search. Now, I have conveniently hung seven plastic hooks in our pantry which is this far from the door through which we exit...but they are never there. I found a Zomm-ish product in Brookstone. (I hate malls and was outwaiting my husband who had a business meeting and needed to park me somewhere or I never would have found it.) SmartFind @ $49.99. It's marketed for keys, but I think it would do the trick with cell phones too. As for the Zomm, my husband can usually find his phone, but his keys?
