somebody will use it to "clone"
I saw 2 V66, which has exact same IMEI when pressing *#06#
somebody may take your phone's IMEI, and copy into stolen phone

thats quite something to clone an IMEI, I didn't think that could be done.

However, if that is possible, which to my knowledge it's not, what good does a GSM phone do without a sim card. Are you suggesting someone has broken that encryption too, and cloned sim cards?

Lets say theoretically, even if your imei is somehow "copied" into someone elses stolen phone, or even made into a phone, all they have is a stolen phone which is not active.

somehow this doesn't make sense. I'm not saying you're lying, but please understand my curiosity/confusion.

Whats the point of that. If you use another carrier, you will not be able to enjoy the features of the Sidekick.

Anyone have any idea where I would be able to get an unlock code for this? I travel quite a bit and have other carriers SIM cards, but love the sidekick (except for apparent hacking issues). Any idea where I can unlock it?

As far as the hacking thing, I'm absolutely baffeled. I'm sure because of the sensitivity of the case that there is more information that hasn't been released and nobody except the investigation team knows all details. For all we know she could have left the thing sitting out somewhere and it got snatched long enough for someone to flip it open and say hmmm let's e-mail some stuff to me so I can post it on the internet. All we can do is speculate until more facts are released.

As far as unlocking it-do you have T-Mobile service currently? If so and you've been with us more than 90 days (assuming you haven't gotten another unlock code within that time, as it's "one unlock code per 90 days per active line of service) we can provide you the...

Paris Hilton? Not being responsible? That's blasphemy. 😲 I am a little concerned that this is the second time someone has gotten secured information from T-mo. Last time someone from the Secret Service and a lot of buisness customers had information about their accounts taken or viewed. Not great for bidness.

I think its her fault cause she had a Blackberry, and they hacked into that. If I am not mistaken a blackberry isn't like a Sidekick in the fact that the info that you store onto the Blackberry doesn't get stored on special servers. So, I think it is her doings, and being careless. If any T-mobile reps reading this want to clarify on the fact that the Blackberry doesn't need special servers like the Sidekick go right ahead. I could be wrong.

Sure it can. I used my T-mo N-gage on cingular, I just had to set up a new internet profile. It actually works pretty well, except where there's no 850 towers.

She meant the Sidekick isn't any good if you use it on another carrier's network. The Sidekick features such as the web use is a feature that T-Mobile provides for the Sidekick. If you take that to Cingular, the internet features won't work. Only phones that don't need special features from a cellphone company will work. Just like your N-Gage. The N-Gage is not a T-Mobile Exclusive, and by that I mean its a GSM univeral phone.

Well, yes and no, you're both right actually.

As far as the sidekick: We're just talking data here: All info on the device is stored on a proprietary server (hiptop/danger), and in order to use the web on it as well, that server has to be active (through your T-Mobile account. If the server is not active, then the device is still able to be used as a phone, but no data/internet, and no information can be saved to it such as phone numbers, address books, etc... I mean, you can enter all that in, but if the device loses power at all, or if you reset it, it's gone.

Blackberry devices work in a similar manner, but not exactly. More information can be stored directly to the device itself, and BB does have it's own server, but BB has not e...

Fred Durst's T-Mobile account hacked!!!

Fred Durst's T-Mobile account fell victim to the same attacker as Paris Hilton's according to reports spreading accross the internet. Instead of celebrity phone numbers and photos, Fred Durst's account contained a three minute hardcore pornographic camera phone video showing Mr. Durst and an unidentified woman.

The video is watermarked with a graphic containing the text "T-Mobile Terorrist."

Paris Hilton's account was accessed by an easy to guess security question, it's not clear if the same method was used to access Mr. Durst's account.

It's a little tame...but a good start. I think it would be even better if we pitted them against each other. Of course have some hidden surprises, but the winner gets the money and stays alive. Kind of like survivor, where they have to survive each other. I like the flamepit idea, I would also like to see a hungry python trap too.

You could even have a spinoff computer game like quake, you can be Flava Flave, Paris Hilton, Ashley Simpson (but you can't have the voice match the facial movements), and just for kicks, Marilyn Manson. OOOOHHHHH yeah, and have a Teletubbie pit. They are evil, I swear they are. It would be too terrifying to play. 😲 😳

Fred Durst would be great, make sure to add the Hanson girls and satan..er...uh..Dick Cheney 😈 . It would be great to have Manson's whole band, along with Slipknot. What a great game.
