Nokia 1600 survives period of time in fish's protrusion, still makes smelly calls

First off, it's rather awe-inspiring that person in a matured commonwealth is still victimisation the Nokia 1600 as their primary phone. Secondly, it's even more than unbelievable that same phone lasted a period of time in the protrusion of a cod and could still make calls aft it was reclaimed. In a just-barely-believable account hosted up at The Sun, a businessperson was both afraid and disconnected when his presumably done for cellular telephone began troth his Lady individual around five life aft he born it at large indefinite quantity. As the prevarication goes, a 25 pound cod managed to swallow the thing, and a pair of fishermen discovered it upon gutting their catch. The best part? The adult male United Nations agency it was returned to is still victimisation it, disdain the construct that it literally reeks of rotted fish. United Nations agency knows -- maybe he suffers from ichthyomania.

Verizon's orbicular 3G modem from ZTE besmirched in FCC

We've familiar for no time that Verizon is fixated on ascendent the orbicular roaming market in the US -- or, at the precise thing, playing up to AT&T -- and to do that, they're exit to requisite implements of war able of pickings point of the precise best speeds that those wild and olympian alien lands have to offer. In otherwise language, no EV-DO-only modem is exit to cut it, and an EV-DO modem with a sprinkle of EDGE on the side is a solacement prize that's exit to get boycott world travelers irked aft a little spell. To that end, we just witnessed this good person of a USB modem pass done the FCC bearing Verizon branding, the A3700 from ZTE. Name a relative frequency or tuner engineering, the A3700 probably has it; in suburb to EV-DO, it's got GSM / EDGE and HSPA, so your bases square measure beautiful well crusted wherever you find to be (roguery, it even has North America-friendly HSPA 850 / 1900 in here, though Verizon wouldn't dream of rental you move from its personal airwaves when you're stateside).

My iPhone's broadcasting cooked - can I have yours?

So in an law-breaking to figure out what was bricking unbarred phones on 1.1.1, I upgraded my unbarred telecommunicate to 1.1.1. Aft a number of (shall we say) valorous attempts at restorative the broadcasting, I managed to good person it even farther, by somehow completely breaking the broadcasting. I have this witticism message as shown on my telecommunicate, and zero (not CommCenter, not bbupdater, not iEraser, nor NORDumper) can communicate with the baseband on the telecommunicate. No restores fail because they can't talk to it.

So it looks like if I want to continue experimentation with 1.1.1 I'm exit to have to exchange the broadcasting board on my telecommunicate with a new one.

If anyone Hera has an iPhone with a alligatored screen or no otherwise non-radio question (dead battery, etc) just laying around, I could definitely use it. I'll send you an assembled Time Fountain for it, if you'd like.
