<font color=OrangeRed> Answer: And the text message is "CDMA ..1xRTT" ? Message 14303340 AUG 30, 2000, M2 Communications - Programmers at the Norwegian mobile Internet firm Web2wap.no have accidentally found a way to 'kill' Nokia phones with a specific text message. When the phone receives the message all keys, including the power key, stop working. In some cases it is possible to reset the phone by removing the battery but according to reports the message may also damage the SIM card. Bjorn G Viksund, Web2wap's managing director, said in an interview for the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv that the programmers had also noted that mobile phones which had received the text message were more susceptible to malfunctions than other phones. Viksund added that he could not exclude the possibility that a similar method could be used to block Ericsson or Motorola phones. Nokia has reportedly been informed of the problem, described as the 'world's first mobile phone virus' and has started an investigation. LOL ! -metman

..Portland, OR, that even with a difficult-to-realize, complex filter... Now give me one, good or bad, reason a complex filter would be needed?? Must mean the writer and the source didn't really know what both of them were trying to work out?? (that is a real difficult situation to work out) Ilmarinen.
