And it's been fixed in all recent models, so no real hazard here.

"Mr de Haas works in the Internet security business, and his company's policy is to publish all potential flaws in security. We are grateful that he has turned to us on this issue first..," said Nokia in a global statement. "We wish to assure our customers that the actual likelihood of receiving such a message is extremely small, and has so far only been produced under controlled laboratory conditions."

Software upgrades will not be available for existing handsets, as it is "extremely unlikely" for this particular crash scenario to occur in the real world, said the spokesperson.

Still, Nokia's newly manufactured phones will come with modified software, supposedly removing the risk altogether, she added. "

This was published in 2001 at http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handpho...9005322,00.htm
