I just wanted to share my story with you. Today around midday I was riding my motorbike on the freeway traveling at 110km/h when my phone came off my holder and flew off down the freeway. Given the amount of traffic and my inability to stop I resigned myself to the fact that I had lost my precious Note 20 Ultra. I returned home about 6.30 pm and in a final act of desperation I logged into my find my mobile on my Samsung account. I could not believe my eyes when my phone was showing as being on the freeway, still alive. I immediately jumped in the car with my wife and friend and set out on a rescue mission. The freeway was still very busy and the first five by the location was unsuccessful. Determined to find my poor phone we went around again, once again we couldn't see it and given the inherent danger of crawling along a busy freeway with our hazard lights on, we nearly gave up but then I thought, just one more pass. Third time lucky I thought. So we went around again and this time we called the phone. By some miracle my wife spotted it and stopped, got out of the car and retrieved the phone. The screen is cracked, the stylus is missing and it's badly dented but it survived. Even the cover was missing so that it survived is a miracle but also a testament to a well built phone. It hit the road at 120km/h on a freeway and survived. That's a great story. I'm glad to have it back but sad that it's all banged up. Unfortunately I can't afford to replace it so I'll have to keep using it as is. I got the screenshots on my laptop of its location on the freeway so at least it's a great story to tell iPhone users when they talk up Apple phones. I can assure them they wouldn't pass the Samsung freeway test!!!.
Hope you enjoyed the story. It made for an interesting Sunday that's for sure.

Every experience I've ever had with "find my whatever" has been extremely **bleep**e! Out of the 6 or 7 times I've truly needed it over the last 10 years it was only ever helpful ONCE, and it really wasn't that helpful it only confirmed that it was on the work site I already suspected.
