A new vulnerability is hitting certain Nokia phones: the “Curse of Silence” affects Nokia S60 devices running 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, or 3.1, and blocks your phone from receiving SMS and MMS messages. Unfortunately, you can’t solve the problem with a simple power cycle - according to the advisory, you need to perform a factory reset to fix it. The good news is that it’s more annoying than dangerous, since the attack requires the phone number of the recipient/victim.

The attack requires a (email) message sent that contains an email address with a length greater than 32 characters, followed by a space. Depending on the target’s S60 version, one of two things will happen:

1) S60 2.6 and 3.0 (mostly oldschool Nseries phones, N80, N91, N92, N93/N93i, E65, E70, etc) will not be able to receive SMS or MMS messages until a factory reset.

2) S60 2.8 and 3.1 (N95, N95 8GB, E66, E71, 5700 XpressMusic, N81, etc) require 11 emails to be sent in this fashion. Then the target will still receive parts of SMS messages, but only if it’s one long message broken up into small pieces. Power cycling will barely help in this case - it’ll allow one more part to be received before the phone goes nuts. A factory reset will solve the problem.

Right now, there’s no user fix for the vulnerability. Network operators can defeat the attack by just ignoring messages with email addresses > 32 characters, but that doesn’t seem very likely.

The discovery of the attack was made by Tobias Engel, and he’s provided a nice list of phones affected. It’s quite large:

Nokia 6208c: Stylus Smartphone.

In what is starting to become a yearly tradition, Nokia recently announced its latest stylus-driven smartphone, the 6208c. Heading to, you guessed it - China. Read the whole preview for a look at the 6208c’s fun features like a 3.2 megapixel camera and bamboo slip detachable stylus.

The 6208c continues the trend started by the Nokia 6708 and 6108 (no preview for the 6108, only a funky Chinese commercial, sorry) phones. The 6708 was the original Chi-lus phone and looked like this:

The 6708. A time-honored classic. Or not.

So let’s just say these handsets have come a long way from ye stylus phones of olde.

The design of the 6208c is supposed to have been inspired by Chinese ink stones. I don’t see it. I do, however, see something that looks just like the Nokia 6300, albeit a little squattier. Another surprise: the stylus, inspired by “bamboo slips,” looks like no stylus I’ve ever seen before:

The 6208c Stylus.

Also doubles as a bookmark. Actually, the cool part of the stylus’ design is that you can easily attach and detach it from the back of the phone.

Moving along, the 6208c does have some pretty standard Nokia camera features - 3.2 megapixels, dual-LED flash, 4x digital zoom (heh), expandable memory up to 8 GB.

Expect the Nokia 6208c to grace the Chinese market sometime in the first half of 2009.
