I am not going to belabor this point. Buy a Blackberry or check with your carrier. Some of the bozos do know something about the phones they sell, but not many. The blackberry actually asks you if you want it disabled. But to do it right, you also need to disable the part of the Phones OS that turns it on when you buy a application that requires it. With both off, like I said, the only way it turns on is to send a 911 call.

I suppose that code could be put into a worm via e-mail, concealed in a hidden application or such, but I totally wipe (reformat) the memory on mine at least twice a year and then rebuild the apps. I do much the same on my computers after making sure all my data is clean and saved.

Just for your info, I am cautious because I have been computer hacked before and they got my personal e-mails and bank info from my desktop. They did it on a private wireless network through a game port that had been opened to the Internet to aid the game. I have firewalls, but if a port is open, it's open.

I learned my lesson. I am locked up tight.

Re-formatting clear your firmware.

Sorry, I meant to say re-formatting won’t clear your firmware.
