| Possible Windows Mobile 5.0 Security Flaw I recently learned not to trus my Qtek S200 smartphone as I was sending an SMS-message to a buddy. When the SMS was sent, the phone appended the contents of a randomly selected e-mail from my HotMail inbox on my phone. Luckily this was a trusted buddy of mine who told me that he had received an SMS with "weird" content. Unluckily for me the contents that was sent was information about the username and password I use to connect to a website. No need to say I had to change this later on. The SMS stored in the SMS outbox on my phone contained only the original content that I had typed, and nothing of the mail that was appended to the message as it was sent... Unfortunately this was not a single incident, over the last few weeks this has happend several times. My guess is that this is a buffer-overflow error that occurs then the phone is being "stressed". I have also found that one or more applications has serious problems when it comes to "memory-leaking". Anyone with the same experience? Phone: Qtek S200 OS: ROM-version 2.10.7.27 NOR ROM-Date: 2/17/06 ExtROM-version: 2.10.7.108 Can anyone from Microsoft please respond to this? Best regards Jonas A. Olstad |

Anyone can help us? Thanks, Ale |
