Once the phone goes into "Stolen Mode" the Bluetooth radio could be
turned on continuously. You don't need to use another phone to
detect Bluetooth, many laptops (most Macs) have built-in BT and if
they don't you can get a dongle.

Locking the phone and receiving GPS position is great but how
do you
find your Neo in a crowd when the thief as it in is pocket. I

add 2 more options to the list.
It was solved a few answers ago via bluetooth.
How will you detect the bluetooth "stolen name" if you don't have a
phone anymore ?. Not all phones have bluetooth and not everybody
uses it. Bluetooth enable phones don't look for devices
indefinitely and bluetooth is not always on and being on all the
time is considered a security hole. So i wonder how someone loosing
or getting is Neo stolen can retrieve it via bluetooth without
having to get a bluetooth phone or enabled device capable of
reading the tag.
The idea is great and should be kept but how don't see myself
running to the closest cellphone dealer to get a 50$ bluetooth
enable cellphone to pinpoint my 400$ Neo. Sounds illogical to me
