Andrew Cheatle thought his phone would be lost to the sea forever, but a week later a fisherman found it inside a 25lb cod. He was shopping for a new one with his girlfriend when her phone went off. It was the fisherman explaining what he found. "I thought he was winding me up but he assured me he had caught a cod that morning and was gutting it for his fish stall and that my Nokia was inside it -- a bit worse for wear. I didn't believe him but went to meet him and found it was my phone -- a bit smelly and battered -- but incredibly it still worked after I let it dry out," Andrew said. I think we know what the new Nokia advertising campaign should be.

This would be done through an add-on named "Test Pilot" that collects the information and associates it with some demographic information that the user has provided. Unlike other data collection utilities that software developers may include to provide usage information, the add-on will follow the same open source concept that Firefox adheres to, allowing the market to better understand what is being collected. Mozilla Labs stresses privacy when discussing how they will collect, store and use the data, including publishing it for other researchers to to analyze."
