It seems that the NOKIA 1100 is the most expensive phone in the world - well a particular batch that is. This particular model was manufactured in Bochum, Germany and comes with a flawed software/ hardware which allows it to be manipulated and used to assimilate (CLONE) other phone lines. The 1100 was implicated in a string of bank transfer scams and is highly sought after. It is reported that one such phone was purchased for a massive $32,000 USD.
In my opinion the bankers are at fault here as they are sending crucial mTANs (temporary transaction authentication numbers) as an sms for authorizing online money transfers - and this is what criminals are taking advantage of with the cloneable NOKIA 1100.
- Nokia refutes the claim that such flawed NOKIAs exsist.
