Yes same here, i am on 24 Mbps Be, and i get only 16 because of the crappy cable BT have. When it's raining i loose
another 2 Mbps and that's often here in the UK. Why should i pay 50p more to subsidise other people connection ?

Yeah but we are not in the 70s any more. They would code them in PHP or JAVA if they had a chance to choose. This is why professional hackers have a easy way to hack something that should be impossible to hack

"We have not identified any phone software problem that would allow alleged use cases,"

Nokia are completely clueless as usual. Nokia 1100 belongs to the dct4 generation of phones. Security is based on safer-k64 (symmetric algo for all important stuff) and simple vhdl logic for encrypting/decrypting instructions from Flash memory. All security, hidden bootrom - completely hacked in 2001.

Even latest Nokia models (BB5 generation) running OMAP trust zone are fully cracked, except for a small issue of making fully blank boards running without IMEI certificate. All the rest - spaggeti mix of soft implemented AES, SHA and badly implemented RSA1024 have been hacked/circumvented.

"The iPhone 3G is a paragon of embedded device security"

Hmm, you care to share with us how many embedded devices security you have evaluated ?

"In short, this hack wasn't some bunch of script kiddies having a sleepover and cracking the copy protection on Arkanoid 2 for the C64."

It is exactly this and the crack sucks big time, just check user forums how the solution performs.

"some of the tightest security ever found on a PDA or mobile phone."

Again such a big claim. It is visible you have never done and embedded hacking in your life.
