I lost my android phone - an Atrix about a week ago. I had Where's My Droid installed and I installed Plan B after I lost it. However, my batteries had died before I lost it so they didn't really help. After two days, I just decided to get a new phone. I had a lot of pictures and stuff on it. I thought I had my data backed up to my gmail account but I wasn't able to retrieve any contacts and I only had two pictures backed up. I also checked my Motorblur account and had Dropbox installed but there wasn't anything backed up to any of those either. Just wondering if there's any way I can still retrieve my data or am I out of luck?

It sounds like you're out of luck unfortunately, sorry. 
Have you tried the local police station, just on the off chance someone might have handed it in? What about running Where's my Droid/Plan B now, does that find anything? Someone may have picked it up and not done a factory reset (unlikely, but there is always that slim chance)?

The night I lost it I was with some friends and we stopped in a couple of different towns. My phone had been dead for a while so I didn't look at it and notice it was missing until I was almost home. So I don't even know which town I was in when I lost it. Still no luck with the other two apps either. Thanks though. I rather it broke somehow because I had an SD card in there so I'm worried somebody will find it.
