how to freeze a Nokia with a simple SMS
you send an SMS like this 123456789@123456789.1234567890123 (or any other emailaddress with 32 characters) to these Nokia's that have installed the option to receive emails by SMS
Medium (for S60 2.8 and 3.1 devices): Target will not be able to
receive any SMS or MMS messages while the attack is ongoing. After
that, only very limited message receiving is possible until the device
is Factory Reset
High (for S60 2.6 and 3.0 devices): Target will not be able to receive
any SMS or MMS messages until the device is Factory Reset
there is no patch or workaround.....
a new way to send a new year greeting to someone you didn't like last year and happens to have one of these

and Nokia itself is just numb on it (maybe they hope it will go away by itself)
always back up your personal details on a NOKIA on something ELSE
there are also online services that let you send SMS for free.....
