How did he call the hotel if he didn't have his cell phone?

One article said he made several business calls after he left the hotel so he must have had a second phone. And if he had a second phone, why would he miss the other phone AT A CRITICAL POINT IN THE TIMELINE???

Police showed up at the scene, and began hours of investigation. Shortly after police arrived, Strauss-Kahn called the hotel to report he had left his cellphone behind and his call was immediately routed to the Sofitel security chief, the sources said.

He had 7 phones. He obviously just forgot to pick up one of them when he left (in a hurry, I’d say).
