subject: Old Nokia Phones... A Fortune [print this page] Many people have recently learned that the house had a small fortune. It is trivial Nokia 1100, which came to be worth the "black market" and 2,000 euros, after an obscure company launched the rumor that the device could be used by hackers.
IT specialists insist that rumors are mere fables, and that it could be another scam like "Singer sewing machine."
According to the Romania Libera Nokia 1100, a phone that was sold worldwide in over 200 million copies, became overnight a desired electronic device hackers worldwide.
The reason? This model would, in manufacturing, a defect that allows obtaining personal bank accounts and passwords, thus robbing their owners significant sums of money.
Source of information about the new possibilities of the Nokia 1100 - is not just about phones manufactured in Germany at Bochum, in 2003 - would be a company in the Netherlands, Ultrascan Advanced Global Investigations, specializes in investigating Internet fraud.
One such company told employees in April 2009, that model would have a software defect that allows interception of telephone messages received by the owners of the bank where they register.
Frank Engelsman's statements were taken from news agencies, newspapers and forums, although Nokia officially denied by a statement, that that model would have this problem.
But they even sell phones with Euro 2000 but those from Nokia will not recognize it.
Imagine that your right it would intercept those passwords, who would likely try to steal through such a method? Personally I think this is an aberration created by small inteprinzatori who needed money quickly.
Now I want to ask you a question, if you have 2000 euro and you are in front of a district where you can find an iPhone in July (the future) and a Nokia 1100 at a price of 2000 euro both whom would you choose? .. ... I bet the iPhone right?

The Nokia 1100 (and a closely-related variant, the Nokia 1101) is a durable and very simple GSM mobile phone produced by Nokia with a 96 x 65 monochrome screen. It is targeted towards developing countries and users who do not require advanced features beyond making calls and SMS text messages, alarm clock, reminders, etc.
The 1100 is similar to the now discontinued 5110/3210/3310 models that were among the most popular cell phones in the world a few years ago before handsets developed several new features such as cameras, polyphonic ringtones and color screens.
Over 200 million Nokia 1100 cellphones have been sold since its launch in late 2003, making it the world's best selling phone handset,[1] as well as the best selling consumer electronics device in the world, beating Sony's Playstation 2 (125 million), Apple Inc.'s iPod (170 million), Motorola's RAZR (100 million), and LG's Chocolate (10 million).
The Nokia 1100 was designed at Nokia Design Center in California, by the Bulgarian-American designer Miki Mehandjiysky.
