I really think u r over-reacting to this.Like MLK said, if they want my contacts they can ask for it, i have nuthin' against donating them.In my country the more ppl call, the more free minutes u get from ur operator, so i'd give 'em my number 1st:D
It's a "fixable" error and it's likely that others errors will appear with time
Just cool it..

they say its possible to access your gprs connection thru bluetooth, even if its not paired.... if u got the right tools, which have yet to see the light of day.... don't get worked up, a phone is a phone, if somebody somehow manages to crash it via bluetooth just go and get it fixed, its not like you have your lifes' work saved on it like you might have on your pc... i'm off to bed, its been a long day

just like viniezza posted, do read
http://bluestumbler.org/
the most disturbing fact is that many people dont even know what bluetooth-pairing means, or what eventuall hazards can rise from having paired your phone to another one.... in a 'security way' of speaking.
btw. yes Nokia is the easiest to jack, heheheheh
trust me

Ok guys I tried this out today on my way home....I was on train back from work and wipped out my PowerBook to see if anyone had BT enabled.....and well you guessed 3 phones found. So I I proceeded to the BT menu in the powerbook, those that are familiar will realises it will only give you 2 options SEND FILE OR BROWSE DEVICE. I proceeded to browse device and the phone in mention was an SE T610. It connected without asking me to pair the phones and I proceeded to see the Sub Directories..... my memory is a bit vague now but it was MY PICTURES, MY SOUNDS AND something else...nothing really important. I then selected a picture this person had in the phone and DELETED IT. KNOW BEFORE YOU ALL THINK I AM EVIL...I THEN SENT THE PIC BACK TO HIS OR HER PHONE, and this time it ask for confirmation for the pic to be sent.!!!!!!
So conclusion I guess yes there is some harm that can be done (if you cherish your pic's and sounds) and not much I could see that could be done to damage the phone or use the GPRS.
So I say dont worry to much but dont turn to much of a blind eye on this...

this last post is a complete bullshit...
you can't even discover a T610 without the owners contribution to set it discoverable...
discoverability lasts for 3 minutes and of course you also need spec. sw.
read this again more carefully

The following came through my e-mail.

Oxygen3 24h-365d, by Panda Software (http://www.pandasoftware.com)
Madrid, February 12 2004 - According to Security Corporation -at
http://www.security-corporation.com/articles-20040209-005.html -
vulnerabilities have been detected which could affect the functionality of
Nokia 6310i phones.
The security problems affecting this particular model stem from Bluetooth
and infra red connectivity. Both of these methods support the Object
Exchange (OBEX) protocol to transfer data to and from the telephone. By
using invalid OBEX messages, it is possible to provoke denial of services
which would cause the telephone to reset. Anyone in range of the phone could
launch the attack.
Nokia has confirmed that the vulnerability affect its 6310i phones. It is
also possible however that other similar Nokia devices could be affected by
malformed OBEX packets.
