Just a quick note for any of you out there experiencing problems with the Nokia N80 handset. Although it is a great phone, many N80 owners find the menus to be slow, and SMS sending to be ridiculously slow! This is actually a software problem (despite these pesky operators who tell you it is a network problem!!), and thankfully Nokia have released a patch which you can download here:
Recently there have been a number of “Stealth” or “Spy” mobile phones coming on to the market which can (allegedly) be used to intercept calls and SMS. Readers of my blog may recall my recent post, Intercepting SMS/Text Messages in which I discussed a few of the possibilities for such use. After a bit more research into the subject, I can now detail more information on these “Stealth phones” and their uses.

Some time ago, I asked my mobile technician friend if he had heard of the Nokia virus that was being spread. “There’s no such thing,” he said. “Viruses don’t affect mobile phones!” I asked him for his phone number, and a few hours later he was banging on my door asking what the hell I’d done to his beloved Nokia 3310

If you have a Nokia mobile phone, you can enter these codes to do some nifty tricks and find information about your handset:
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) Number:
*#06#
The 15 digit number which comes up on your screen is your unique IMEI number, and comprises the following information:
Software Revision Type:
*#0000#
You will see three lines of information on your screen which are comprised of the following:
Service Menu:
*#92702689# (*#WAR0ANTY#)
You will find the following menus displayed:
Clock Stopping:
*#746025625# (*#SIM0CLOCK#)
This checks wether your phone supports this feature. Key in again to restart the clock.
Activate EFR (Enhanced Full Rate)
*#3370#
This activates EFR which increases clarity but decreases battery life by around 5%. To deactivate, key in *#3370*.
Activate HRC (Half Rate Clarity)
*#4270#
This decreases the clarity of calls, but increases battery life. To deactivate, key in *#4270*.

I know. I’m a grown up. I shouldn’t be jealous of my husbands new, super-duper, fabulous computer-with-camera-and-video-and-mp3-and-all-the-trimmings that he calls a phone.
But I am. I want one too!
The problem is that these things cost so much, and my current contract doesn’t run out for a good few months yet. So I’m stuck, waiting and wanting one so bad! The things I could do with a device like that… I could finally learn to take great photos; make a video diary of the kids; blog better by phone; check my email while on the school run…
Times like this, I wish I could be reckless again!
To make matters worse, the kids have all asked for mobile phones for their birthdays. Of course, they can’t have something as advanced and grown up as hubby’s N95, but still… Are they still too young to have that sort of responsibility?
Their argument is this: “everyone else at school has got one!”. I’m sure most mums have heard this story before, as we did to our own parents when we were little. My son will be eleven in July, and the twins will be eight in August. I think they’re all too young to be responsible for a mobile phone, and no doubt hubby and I will suffer endless requests for pre-pay top-ups. Unfortunately hubby thinks otherwise.
Should I try to change his mind?
