................. NICE ONE 😀

[citation][nom]A Stoner[/nom]You had me interested until you hit the 22" monitor. WTF is the point of all the horse power if you can only drive it at 22" and crappy resolutions?[/citation]

thats what i was thinking

more like 28" monitors, they only cost $50-80 more.

I would like a flashlight feature on my phone also, one that just turns on the flash and keeps it on. if i do something with myphone to make it glitch the light will stay on, but it takes like 10 seconds, i want a light!

LMFAO so true!

you'd have to fake a sim card to pull (assuming it's gsm) to pull off the scam so you either would have to posses it in the first place or sniff out the id. In the latter case if you have the equipment to do it it defeats the purpose to buy a $30K phone since you'd already have stuff capable of faking the phone number. All in all even if 1100 is hackable (I'm sure it is 😉) it would be a really stupid idea to buy it for $30K 😀 On the topic: didn't Kevin Mitnick or whats his name go to jail for some similar shit?

actually, I've been getting many phone calls lately that have spoofed numbers. From what I've researched, it's possible to do ANI spoofing which will make your number seem like someone else's at your choice, however it does not mean those person's calls would come to your phone.

unless..theres something I don't know about

Crap - what do you drive and where do you go to school? $32k would be more like $24k after paying taxes - enough for my car and 1 year of in-state tuition.

[citation][nom]mavroxur[/nom]Holy crap Nokia's phone can now be used for illegal purposes. Let's sue Nokia!! *sarcasm*[/citation]
Well you know the eu they just might... 😀

 

[kelfen]

why be so obvious 32k!? for a old phone hmm?

 

[tayb]

Do I need to go to India to get the money from my long lost cousin first? No scam artist would pay $30,000+ just for the opportunity to steal someone's money.

 

[Guest]

=D I have one 1100... who pays more? 😛

Listen JMcEntegart:

The Germans and the Finns collaborating to swindle the German people out of their hard earned cash. Doesn't it just MAKE sense to facilitate something like that? 😛

 

[WINTERLORD]

wow, would it be illiegal in any way to sell a phone for 30,000? heck id even take 20k if it where truly legal

 

[SpadeM]

Deja vu feeling here, 15 years ago or so kevin mitnick did the same cell phone hacking on nokias, but then again that was for a different purpose. Either way sux to be a german right about now.

Well let's face it. As you said the other day, you've aquired some sense of moral over the last bunch of years - and well, most of us haven't. Our moral is for sale at the right price.
And after all it's not assisting crime, if you know nothing about the intentions of the buyer. And if you don't ask, you don't know
The apothecary probably wouldn't ask what you'd need various items for that you can pick up there either - unless it's something they HAVE TO ask for. And who sais you ain't building a bomb to go hunt nessie or blow up dublin?

[citation][nom]NuclearShadow[/nom]My father has one of these cellphones that he doesn't use anymore. But I certainly don't plan on selling it to criminals no matter how much is offered.[/citation]


I will buy it for $200, and promise not to use it for criminal purposes.






I cant speak for the person I will then sell it to on ebay.....

 

[estanenmi]

i have 5 of this nokia... on my closet.. where i can sell it?

not even for 32000?
youre dumb

 

[Guest]

they sell for a $1.00 on ebay and u can still buy them as tracfones. so I have a hard time believing anyone paid over $50.00 let alone 32,000 for this phone.

 

[Guest]

bull - go to ebay - nothing has sold for over $70 but I did find one listed for $500.

 

[pythy]

I find it hilarious that Nokia is saying "it knows of no glitches in its software that would allow criminals to carry out any of the above." That's why it's called a hack!!! If they had known about it, they would have called it a "feature"!!
