    It's a particular series, with a particular factory code, supposedly those phones have a bug that can be used to spoof caller ID and obtain people's bank passwords via SMS, or something. No-one seems to be sure if that's really true or not, but it doesn't stop some hopeful people from trying to sell their beaten up old 1100 for the price of a family car!

    Hard to believe this. These Nokia 1100 phones are one of the cheapest phones available in India.

    Of course it's the cheapest but the thing that hackers can do with the software of that phone to capture credit card pins or numbers is the thing that actually brings you money. However the phone must be designed in Germany, Bochum so you can sell it for that much...

    If you can get your hands on the firmware to load into the cellphone, DO IT (o and if you aren't worried about stealing people's bank info). But yeah, it's real...I had friends in China that used to do this. Scary how many stolen CC's they have over there!
