Apparently the Bochum, Germany models have a software flaw that can be exploited to allow online bank account security to be circumvented. [...] The exploit allows the 1100 handset to be setup to receive calls to any phone number.

Yeah, guys, that's not a security flaw in the phone.


It can be set to send calls with an id of any phone - and it's old news - and it's been fixed


The point is, if a Nokia phone with modded firmware can do this, so can a software radio.


How can you tell if it's the particular model commanding the high price? EDIT: A Comment there says this is all BS. Sure are a lot of people there too selling that phone! EDIT TWO: It's on the label under the battery. Mine is not RH-18 from Germany.
