We’ve been following up on the SMS Bug –the Curse of Silence that recently invaded Series 60 handsets. Just to recap, the bug, if sent by an attacker, will render messaging from the Nokia device useless.
Initially, one of the quickest ways to eradicate the nasty little virus was with a hard reset of the device which also meant saying goodbye to a lot of personal data. Nokia has however provided a new tool for this scenario that will require users to simply download and install it in their devices. This tool, according to the reports, will take care of the bug if or when your handset is attacked.
Stumble It!
thats good can you share the link from where we may download this any bug and viruses application.
I was fundamentally put off series 60 after working on a phone which used it. Too many keypresses to get simple things done (I just want to SEND AN SMS, dammit!), too buggy, too slow (hey, watch the dialogs draw! fun fun fun!)…
So I’m not at all surprised that Nokia don’t fix flaws, including the java S40 one. Funny they’re touting themselves as the comeback kids (i.e. they’re terrified of the iPhone) but they won’t fix well-known flaws.
I’ll stick with an old sonyericsson for now, all the smartphones seem to have become dumber… I guess an iPhone running Android might be up my street, if it improves the battery life
