I would think that EVERY
enabled device has the capacity to
jack other
enabled devices. Not just
phones, coz Ericsson invented
for a much wider range of devices. Long live connectivity.
Imo,
jacking is cool, however CAN be easily abused.
As for the point of this thread...
I don't really see it..

SE phones have the ability to shut off the "discoverability" of the phone. so you may receive incoming data only if you want to. SE phones have more concern when it comes to security levels for data transfer to/and fro. other phones seem to not be able to choose so. hence, i don't believe it when nokia users claim he/she has been BlueJacking SE phone.

As do nearly all other phones, including nokias.

Actually, make that 99.999999% of bluetooth handsets can turn discoverability on or off. Including all nokias.

Don't see why not. Easy to do for a nokia user - if a P800 or T610 user has left their phone on discoverable (not 'hidden') then ANY bluetooth handset can find them and send them business cards - i.e. bluejack them. I'm afraid to say that there's nothing special about
in this respect (except for SMan on our P800's, so we don't even have to get the phone out anymore!
)

Wrong
Wrong
Right
the whole point of bluejacking Nokia phones is that they leave their discoverly on by default. Most dont have the option to change this (ie 7650/3650). Thus it is easy to bluejack any of these phones that have Bluetooth activated. SE phones have discovery off by default, and you only activate it when you are getting another device to search for you.
Have you even had any proper experience in bluejacking? If so, you would know this stuff.

But the point is,
is discoverable ONLY for 3 minutes, then switches off, so the 'vulnerability period' is only that long - the NOKIA is permanently discoverable (??).

well to answer the topic of this thread I do enjoy the odd bluejack for fun since reading
this thread but the novelty is wearing off now a bit.
