Time to get a new phone…


Well, shoot. I guess it’s time to retire my Nokia 6310i and get myself a new phone. It turns out my 6310i is way vulnerable to bluesnarfing, which means that an atttacker can grab pretty much all of the data stored on the handset, including the address book and IMEI. Worse yet, Nokia is claiming that this is “not a serious problem”, so they don’t plan to fix it. Oh, really?

The question now is, what sort of replacement phone should I get. It needs to be a GSM triband, support bluetooth and GPRS, preferably be able to do GPRS and voice at the same time, and be relatively sturdy. It does not need to have a cheap-ass lousy camera in the thing. And of course, it needs to be not vulnerable to all of the latest Bluetooth attacks. Any suggestions?
