Bluetooth Security and Hacking

Hi folks;
I haven't had a Windows Mobile device in years - last time I had one it was still CE, so I have a bit of a learning curve to climb. I'm looking forward to it though; my HTC Trinity arrives in two days and I'm excited.
One thing I'm really curious about is Bluetooth security. I've read a fair bit recently about a lot of mobile phones / basic smartphones and how they severly lack any sort of bluetooth security, meaning other people can pair to your device without your knowledge to send you messages, copy files to/from the device via OBEX, that sort of thing.
I am wondering what sort of security I can expect out of a WM5 device for Bluetooth (and to some extent Wi-Fi as well). Can people pair with me without my knowledge?
Will my A2DP connection to my new Moto HT820's be easily eavesdropped? It probably uses that default 0000 key like most headsets do.
Also, what sort of tools are available to have a bit of fun with other people's Bluetooth phones? Are there tools for WinMo to send people SMS messages via BT, or listen to headsets, that sort of thing?
If that's against the rules around here, fair enough, don't post anything that would get us in trouble.
Admittedly, it's sort of a lame script-kiddie thing to do, but I think I'd get a kick out of it and I wouldn't do anything to harm someone's device - it would just be a fun learning experience to mess around with people's phones remotely.
It's also good to raise awareness of the relative insecurity of a lot of these personal-area networking devices.

A bump in case anyone has any ideas today.

I use btCrawler:

You need to create this registry key if you want to use Bluesnarf:
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Mode\"ISC"=1 (DWORD)

I saw this thread over on Modaco yesterday http://www.modaco.com/The-Real-Bluejack-for-Pocket-PC-t250841.html
$6 was cheap enough, and it's very good.

Noob thread alert
omg how nooby is this post?
ok heres a very simple concept
bluetooth off = no access
bluetooth on = available access, however.
most phones these days (even if they support obex object push) have other securitys in place to stop these sorts of attacks.
im really sick of wana be "hackers" carrying on about bluetooth hacking, gawd go learn odbc or something usefull.
even if you could get into someones phone with your elite hacking skills what would you honestly get out of it, "wow look at me i can msg some complete stranger from someones phone book...."
sorry but as a programmer it really grinds my gears seeing noobs post about things they dont understand.

im sure people feel the same about you,when you approach a subject you not an expert or have relevanby experiance
people ask cos they dont know,if you dont like that simply close the page

noobs post about things they dont understand
that why they ask mate,we are all noobs in some field relax

the best way to secure your device while BT is on is to make sure its not discoverable.. Nothing is 100% (except leaving BT off completely)
Also Smurf is a cool little program, but it will only bluejack.. but certainly makes for some fun and odd expressions from strangers

A big percentage of posts in this forum are from noobs who post about things they don't understand, and as a community we try to be helpful between us whenever it's possible... and nobody told you to shut up when you posted about things you don't understand.

Chill out dude, everyone is n00b in some area... In your case it should be in the area of being modest...
The xda community is here to help and offer solutions...

Alright, I would hardly consider myself a "noob" simply because I've only been posting here for a week or so. Perhaps once you learn to capitalize letters and spell words, your flames will become more effective.
The question was aimed at determining the level of security present in WM5 devices, and to see if there were any little easy fun programs to send messages or files, that sort of thing. I don't want to "hack" people to any serious extent, or I would fire up my Debian laptop and listen in to the communications that way.
Well, enough out of me. I'll let you get back to wanking it to pictures of Michael Moore.

everyone sit back and relax, have a drink, or smoke, or whatever you do to relax.. If the flames continue then i am going to lock this thread.. lets stay on the topic please. Now group hug, everyone kiss and make up
Just realize that not everyone knows everything about anything.. some people are noobs in some aspect, flaming isnt going to help anyone and thats what this community is about. If you dont want to be a part of that then you know where the exit button is at

Sorry, I probably went a little far on the defensive, but someone who can't even spell or type a complete sentence doesn't have much right calling someone he doesn't know a "noob".
I've bought that Bluejacker program, and it looks to be a pretty impressive tool. Most useful will be the ability to save OBEX transfers directly to my storage card - a few of my friends have overglorified HDD-based media players and I think they may have Bluetooth, so it should be interesting to try transferring movies around.

That's the one I bought. It needs a few bugfixes (mostly visual) but it made it a lot easier to get all my ringtones and whatnot from my old Sony Ericsson T610.

looks like i will have to check it from home.. [email protected] company firewalls

I've been using it a couple of days now. It's the best Bluetooth utility I have seen on the PPC.
It's a shame it's locked to my Uni though because sometimes I take the Wizard out as it's so much smaller, and I would have liked to use it on that on those odd days.
EDIT: 0vZ just contacted me on that MoDaCo thread to say a 2nd license is only $3 USD. Peanuts to pay for such a functional product, so I'll do that.

Oh and just a note to st3v3, no, this app isn't really *hacking*, but people's stupidity means you can probably quite easily download every text message on their phone.
Changing your BT name to "incoming message" or something and accessing a phone might bring up a message like "incoming message is trying to access your phone. Allow, yes or no"
Lots of people send files and send silly messages by BT now, most non-technical people would simply click yes, giving you OBEX, or AT access to their phone.
I didn't buy this app for this purpose, but I have just discovered how easy it is, I might have a little play.

yeah and its the same as on the old nokias if you have your name as blank (forget how to do that there was a way) any of the old nokias (ngage i know it works) would lock up becuase it wouldnt display the name.
still not what I would call hacking and being able to read someone’s text messages (which would require someone’s bt to be left on and that they had the right type of phone)
All in all its still a pipe dream of misconstrued wana be 15 year olds with nothing better to do than sit around telling their friends what elite hackers they are.

Extreme Noobs Read Now - I Did It!!!

A BLOND FEMALE EXTREME NOOB DID IT!
My friends said I couldn’t do it. Mostly my male friends. All my girl friends supported me, but the general consensus was being female and being blond, I would have a hard time. LOL Well, I started by reading, reading, reading and READING on here for the past few weeks and finally got my ATT&T tilt a yesterday. I read and studied so much on this forum, I was practically bursting at the seams to put into practice what I had been studying night and day for the last 3 weeks or so. I also want to say THANKS THANKS THANKS to this forum and all who participate especially the moderators and senior members who read and wade with suspicious eyes (will this be a redundant post, they think), but who also assuage with empathetic concern for the worn out and battered, but otherwise persevered noob. I DID IT! I DID IT!
Like all mentors, they try to instill in all noobs like me a virtual sense of responsibility and accomplishment by not giving up information so readily and thus fostering a sense of, ‘pull yourself up by your own bootstraps’ kind of reasoning as they have been there and done that and you have not. Depending on your situation, this can be either good news or bad news. For those like me with a fundamental understanding and an ounce of technical aptitude, it is certainly good news. For others, it’s an emotional roller coaster ride and I feel sorry for all who go through such hell. KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES AND LIMITATIONS! If you buy a phone you have no business owning because you think it’s cool looking only to find out that it’s really meant for the corporate power user variety and those who possess a higher than normal level of gadgetry prowess, what do you expect? Add to that , if you’re not technically savvy enough to operate it and install everything, what would be the point because eventually you would realize all you really have is an expensive phone and how you keep wishing you could get it to look like the ATT&T tilts you see on you tube.
I THINK I AM THE MOST EXTREME NOOB OUT THERE AND I AM FEMALE AND BLOND….TWO STEREOTYPES IN ONE!!
BUT…I was able to do it all on my own (Kicked boyfriend to the curb several weeks prior so didn’t want to ask him) with the exception of one thing which I have been working on and will continue to work on until all options are exhausted. Then I will post. I am 98% done and I chose Dutty’s 6.1. I really like it. I got through the white screen, made it through the compatible radio thingy, changed my military clock to regular (I’ve seen many posts on this), I installed he keyboard fix, enabled touchflo (I love it!) and so much more. I have one more pretty important thing I need to do, but as I said, I will keep reading before I post on here. Probably something I did.
I wanted to post on here so badly yesterday while I was installing just like everyone else does, but unlike those who do post, I decided to just keep at it and kept on reading and learning. I am soooo glad I did because now the whole install means more to me. I mean, I appreciate it more, the process. If you're just given something, how can you really respect or appreciate the accomplishment or end result?
THE ANSWERS ARE OUT THERE. Yes. It does take some due diligence on your part, but damn, you are getting this invaluable information for FREE. Free I tell you. What more do you want? All that is required is your time and willingness to learn. Has the fabric of society weakened so much that it has generated a new breed of lazy? Seriously? Could it be as simple as stupid is stupid or how about even willing stupidity? You either have the mental capacity to process and implement the information or you do not. It’s that simple. Period. I try to know the technical ins and outs of Quantum Mechanics which is why you would never see me lecturing on the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics and their applied actions in the world of physics. I do know however, that riding a bike downhill will cause it to go faster and that each step I take forward puts me one step closer than the previous and pretty soon if I keep putting each foot in front of the other and walking, I’ll end up where I want to be. Having no or limited knowledge, I could end up in a rough area of town or because I have knowledge of the geographic area, it would likely be that shoe store who is having the amazing sale - Two different places and two different outcomes. One would lead to my own personal happiness (the shoe store sale) and the other to a potential statistic depending on the area of town you happen find yourself. You choose.
And to add a little further bit of my scintillating educational content to this subject, I’ll bring out the, "How to tell if something is complicated and over your head, even without understanding it, in case you can't be convinced by the fact that it actually IS complicated and over your head" kit. Opening the box, I take out two long, bare copper wires, and I put one in each of your hands. Onto my own hands I put thick rubber gloves. Now, I turn to you and demand, "Explain electricity", which is, you gotta admit, simple enough if you understand anything about electricity. But if you get it even partially wrong (with grammar and posture counting towards your total points!), I cruelly jam the other ends of those copper wires into the wall electrical outlet and let the local power company give you (zzzzt!) the lesson of your stupid life about how complicated things which are over your head and you know nothing about can be very frustrating and expensive for you! Not just with this phone, but in life. Remember that.
Finally, I want to say thank you again. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I am a firm believer in determination. Sweat equity, pays dividends and the feeling of accomplishment waving over me at this moment dwarfs the learning curve and frustration involved with doing it on my own. It can be scary. Anything first new or foreign is scary to a person; A new job, a new relationship, etc. It is only once you become proficient that you wonder how you were ever afraid of falling off in the first place.
Just some good food for thought!

Welll....I am still having problems and I am not a noob....OR SO I THOUGHT.
I did a HARD-SPL successfully but I cannot load Dutty's ROM. Error [240] Update Utility is not correct.
I have looked everywhere and cannot find this....
Anyways....congrats and I am going back to looking!!

Gwen,
I LOVE YOU!!!
Fabulous first post, if you are ever in the Chicago Area (which means anywhere in the North Eastern quarter of Illinois) PM me and I'll by you a drink of whatever it is you fancy!

amazing...you didn't post a new thread on why your sound wasn't working when flashing new dutty rom. Good job and welcome.
Now lets see you cook your own rom.

Good post Gwen just what we all think when we see duplicate posts in the same topic asking the same things. We are all proud of you! Good luck.
**Try flashing the rom via microSD - copy RUU_signed to root of your microSD and rename "KAISIMG.nbh" Reboot, whilst pressing power and camera buttons to go into bootloader and it'll list what is contained in the KAISIMG.nbh (i.e. Radio, Splash, OS) Press "power" to start process. Once complete soft-reset (Do a hard-reset to clear any little niggles) Done. I found this out thanks to vip_snoopy. This way you iliminate the need to use the update utility. This is the only way I flash now (Splash screens, radios and imgs), You can store several roms all with the name (KAISIMG.nbh) on your storage card (in different folders/perhaps using descriptions) then use file manager to copy the one I want to root of microSD and then flash on the go!! **Best to make sure battery is over 50% though.**
Hope this helps in letting you flash Dutty's Rom, worked for me. Thanks and credit to vip_snoopy.
diigibio (Phil)

Cool and smart (can tell by the fact that you wanted to and did it by yourself and that you can write correct and complete sentences)? Gwen, you're going to be in trouble with all the hounds around here
Just watch out. It's an addiction. I went from where you are to being obsessed with cooking my own "perfect" ROM in just a couple of months.
Welcome and congrats.

Congrats... Anything is possible with a little peepee .......No, idiot, Patience & persistence!
You're an asset to the forum because you read, listened, & learned. According to some of the posts I see (& some of the bricks I help save) this concept i consider common sense, apparently is not so...
BTW, if someone like Hillary can run for Pres., I certainly see no issue with flashing. In fact one of the best s/w engineers (mostly reverse) I know is a woman.

OMG!

In recent months, I've wondered how many females frequent this forum. Mostly because there have been lots of assumptions in the text of the messages that have been assuming everyone here is male. Nothing bad, just a simple use of the word "he" when referring to someone when there is no indication of gender to ensure accuracy.
I thought about it a bit more a few times wondering how this type of phone would appeal to females. So, I wonder if this post is authentic? Doesn't really matter to me, but it may be a little embarrassing for the dudes who have used words like "love" and "marry" in thier responses.
I few things seem a bit off....
Lots of text off subject, perhaps to support the stereotype for the claim of being blonde.
Lots of text in general, perhaps to support the stereotype of being female.
Most strange is the use of the word "female", when in most cases the use of this word seems so clinical to woman or girls.
Oh, wait! the name "skunkygwen" is so, like - not nice, I don't get it.
Anyway, just still wondering...

Increasing my Endorphins
Awww. Thanks Guys. I feel really good. I feel like I know P1Tater and Jarek91 as well as a few others just by matter of happenstance. I love some of the posts and the creative ways this forum alerts those who post to read first before asking, For instance, Jarek’s “Hey Flame Bait, read this” or the link to the ninja accessories and throwing stars. It made my searches both comedic and tolerable and kept me going knowing I would run across similarly arranged responses from Senior Members to Noobs. Jarek’s form of sarcasm which resides in countless, countless threads was refreshing and kept me laughing. From other colorful responses from senior members like P1Tater to straight shooters like _Alex_ , they make these intense searches you have to do and all the information intake bearable and if you truly do your homework and I mean truly put in the time which is mandatory, any answer you haven’t found in these forums will be answered when you post it or at least a reference to it that you may have missed. It is only the posts which these moderators and senior members have seen time after time after time, that they do not respond and when they do respond, it is in an aggressive teaching kind of way. It’s so obvious. They’re not being rude. They look at these posts EVERYDAY! How many times would you need to read something knowing that it’s been asked and answered a thousand times before? More importantly, with your limited time schedule coupled with volunteering on these boards, how long would it take you to become callus to pretty much anyone who asked such questions without even doing the most basic research yourself. Please tell me these same people are not voters.
~GWEN
P.S. I happen to like Jarek’s avatar. I’ll have to get me one too.
HELP – HELP – HELP – HELP – HELP
I was going to wait to post this, but I have been looking for the fix to get videos to work on the internet. Now before you get all disappointed and think that I am not practicing what I preach, it should be noted that I have read every available post that I know of on this subject on this forum and still cannot get it to work. It did initially work with the flashed Dutty’s 6.1 ROM.
After initially flashing Dutty’s 6.1 (I did the hard reset and restored after the flash at the alignment screen), I installed the TCP and Flashvideo next, set up my other settings and everything worked fine. No problem. Youtube videos – yep. CNN videos – A-Okay ANY INTERNET VIDEO – Good to Go - Then I got all confident like and with the feeling of Girl Power coursing through my veins, I pushed ever more forward and started messing with other customizable settings and such. You know how it is, right? LOL At one point I had my voltage meter in the upper part of the screen, my processor speed, the tray launch, etc. LOL I went so far that the little ‘ActionScreen’ at the bottom left said something like windows/ht… and that was it. It still functioned properly, but I got to the point where I needed to do a hard reset which I did and then I installed everything again from that point (TCP, Video, keyboard fix, etc). Ever since I got confident and messed with settings, I now cannot get youtube video (I had it before). I cannot get any video on the internet for that matter whereas before I started messing around, I could. I cannot get it from CNN, CBS, Youtube, etc. I have read the posts BELIEVE ME I HAVE.
Do you think re-flashing Dutty’s 6.1 ROM from my computer would fix this error or should I go back to the OEM ATT first and then back to Dutty’s 6.1 again? Do you think it could be a simple setting in my connections? I checked them and they looked okay. I mean ,the video worked fine yesterday. I thought it was maybe due to the fact that I thought I had customized the phone to the point of hard resetting which I did. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I feel dirty for even posting this questions and am disappointed at myself if the solution lies within these forums and if it is a thread I have not seen yet because I have been looking!!!
Thanks,
~Gwen

Someone did something Not sure what they did but it was something like I said right? All the men on here are pervs 75% of the comments back to the OP had some mention of "stereotyping" knock it!
install Skunkworks Flash video bundle then TCMP player should be fine. Or just use coreplayer 1.2

I wanted to take a moment to respond to Toms insinuation that I may be of the opposite gender. Not because I have to. I really don't care, but I’ll do it anyway just to establish the pecking order since this is my first real post, albeit a brief response. Point number one, why would I post on here NOW after the fact. I already have what I need. I got it myself -98% of it anyway. I never posted on here and the hard part is over for me. If I wanted to create a ruse, it would have been for the same reasons it's already been done on here...for the purposes of gaining technical support by taking advantage of the fact that most guys are horn dogs. And on this forum as well as evidenced by so, so many of these ‘gender bender’ types of posts. I chose to stay away from posting because I am an empowered woman and I do have pride and confidence in myself and my actions.
I am going to digress now. One thing you do not know about me (Why would you) is I can get kind of hot headed at times when someone makes a judgment based on a single observation. Apparently, you do not live your life as I do....probabilistically.
I still love you Toms –

(req) Player - Girlfriend App

I was just wondering is it would be cool to make some kind off application to automatically silence several contact and incoming sms. I know there are some apps that work like this but i would be cool to act like this:
lets say: 4 girlfriends
amy - anna - annely - amber
When you at amy house select in the app your at Amy.
So automatically Anna - Annely - Amber is being locked or silenced.
All sms and contact are temporally removed. When you are going over at Anna the rest are being locked and silenced.
Would be cool to have a nice UI whit pictures.
Sound stupid but could be handy

Wow... that would be cool.

Sounds more like "I'm cheating and I don't want the one girl to know about the other" personally, I don't think that's the type of app we should be developing here...

You might be able to use callfirewall to do what you want! dont get caught though!!

This is not a thread to discuss whether you should cheat or not

every call firewall have profiles, you need that many profiles as much as your girlfriends are every profile will have blocking for a cetrain numbers you wish, yes it is simple - but you have to change the profiles manually

Nope, my love life is great, not that it matters to you... I just think that guys who cheat make the rest of us look bad and make girls suspicious of even the loyal guys... In short cheating and sneaking around makes it tough for those of us who are actually honest...

i know magicall works for that too

Sorry, no app is going to get you 4 girlfriends.

Don't think the OP was asking for four GFs. But i agree that this request does raise questions about male honesty.

hahaha its an idea that could be used in more constructive ways.
Like say you give your phone to one of those annoying people that just HAVE to see it. You can just change a quick setting and hide select things like say a couple folders (maybe ur pics folder) and texts for some of your contacts (like say your girlfriend). I mean honestly, who wants someone reading you and ur gf's texts? and then looking at all of ur pics? that way the only thing you have to worry about is them dropping ur baby. lol
EDIT: notice i said "girlfriend"....singular. lol

only 4??????
man, i wish i had this a few years ago, might have saved the first wife from seeing texts from the other gurls......... anyway i digress... yes the aps above do work ok, sometimes...., but if your life (wife) depended on it, i wouldnt.....

Provided you are not in a committed relationship with any of these women, I would suggest being more upfront about the fact that you see other women. A lot of women are surprisingly comfortable with this.

Damn, wish I needed an app like this...

Ok let’s close this thread. I think this app will never come to life. I should probably put more time learning programming so I could make it my self. But then again if I could do it my self with ease I think I would never ever needed it

Strange how one thread elsewhere makes you think of something totally unrelated on xda-developers.

App to auto-send texts?

Hey.
I had a search around, but found nothing for this on the HTC threads. Sorry if its been covered before.
Every morning I send a text, saying exactly the same thing.
When Im on my way home, I send another text. Same thing every day.
Is there an App that will allow me to do that, without having to type out the text?
It just does it by its self.
That would be awesome.
Thanks everyone

I am also looking for one my self. to auto send a sed text at a set time..
Handy for annoying the wife lol

I'm sure I have seen reference to task and profile schedulers around XDA. Perhaps mopre searching (inlcuding the General section) would uncover something. Perhaps a utility that texts someone automatically to tell them that you are on your way home is note necessarily the best thing in the world, espcicially if you are lying critically ill in a ditch and everyone thinks you are fine (cos you cant use your fone yourself, cos you're dying). I alw3ays thought that the reason for sending someone a text to say you were on your way home was so they knoew you were safe, so you would always do that manually. I guess I'm just old fashioned.

Perhaps a utility that texts someone automatically to tell them that you are on your way home is note necessarily the best thing in the world, espcicially if you are lying critically ill in a ditch and everyone thinks you are fine (cos you cant use your fone yourself, cos you're dying). I alw3ays thought that the reason for sending someone a text to say you were on your way home was so they knoew you were safe, so you would always do that manually. I guess I'm just old fashioned.

Hehe...maybe OP is a stalker who sends a msg to his victim every morning and night "I'm gonna get you..."
In that case I would say automation is good. Afterall, he needs all the spare time to avoid the cops.

I'm sure your girlfriend would be very sad to read that.....
"He doesn't love me enough to take the effort to send me a message personally? HE'S DEAD!"

There is a proximity GPS app, in the marketplace, which will do this. It costs about £3.

a canghe gamer: a simple bracelet

Hi guys.
I'll be very quick and simple (thx mother):
Most of the female keep the mobile in the handbag.among a lot of stuff.
Most of guys keep the mobile somewhere and the ringtone bothers people.
Here my idea: a bluetooth plain bracelet that vibrare when u got a call or a notification.
It's so simple that i think it is already on the mkt.
If not, i would say it could sell a lot.
I'm not in the mkt but i can offer money and share profits from who wanna get in this adventure.
ciao!

Looks like a great idea however I think a lot of women won't wear it because it won't match with their shoes or whatever.
Something what will be better is creating a small device what can be attached on their bra (with a clip or smth like that) so people won't see it.

Ok, as a female I have just one comment: nope! not a chance, not in a million years! Missing a notification is not a big enough deal to clip uncomfortable ugly things to our under clothes that would create all kinds of unsightly and questionable bulges! The first idea has more of a chance, but only if it looked like jewelry. And I still wouldn't buy it...
I have a pebble. It is very useful because my phone (or nexus 7) does end up in my purse on mute pretty much all the time. What I need is a pebble that is not so ugly! Much much much thinner for starters. Then we can talk about making it smaller. Then we can talk about accessorizing so it matches shoes/purse/coat, etc. But at least for me, I need more than just notification that something just happened. I want to know what happened to decide whether it's worth fishing for my phone or tablet in the depths of my purse... usually the answer is: no. And it's nice to know that. Which is why I put up with the pebble being so big and ugly. I could not bring myself to consider any of the bigger options. Most women will not consider pebble either because it is still too big. You want our money, you need to figure out how to make it very thin first, then you need to make it in a variety of shapes and sizes. But all must have a super thin profile to start.

Seems a good idea.

this idea ...
Do you want a bit too perfect..

Different vibrations for different apps

It has been done and it is called a MEMI and you can order one at hellomemi .com . As I have not done "10 posts" I cannot contribute a link and ATM it is iPhone only but the concept is there and working. It looks a bit big and bangley (sp) for me but for a lot of ladies this may be the ticket!

P.S Admins freaking editing a post is not spamming your board! This is absolutely stupid! I've been a member since 2011 and I only post pertinent questions and answers here. Goodness lighten up!

This has got me thinking, has anyone tried tethering their phone to their computer, as one would with a car, and pipe the audio through something like pulse audio so that every speaker in the house announces the call.
I'll have to try that later.

What about a doorbell? Your idea COULD hook up to the same system, via bluetooth or something, and be connected to a doorbell, that would make a boisterous cacophony through the house (Westminster Chimes), alerting of a telephone call.

Two chime's for front door, one chime for back door, and a repeating melody for a phone call. Hah, good thing my phone doesn't ring often.

Or even better yet, we could resurrect house-lines! A telephone that was connected a the house, and two or three phones were spread around the house....Connect the house line and the cell phone onto the same line, so when you are home, you can put you cell phone somewhere, and be able to access it at any of the phones that you place around your house? Or something dramatic.

I've thought about resurecting my old phones with a voip line, that would be even better.

This has gone far too long. Just write someone a letter and send it through the mail. How awesome would that feel to receive a full-length letter from someone? Phone call be damned, I'm writing a letter.

Yes, the ultimate form of leave me alone phone communication! I shall do the same.

Getting this thread back on track.. lol
I also think this would be a great idea and I am seriously surprised it does not currently exist. What I want is simple, a band that doesn't look like a cheap piece of crap, that mirrors my phones vibrations. Maybe a multi colored LED that also mirrors my phones. Memi doesn't exists yet and is iphone only. Ritot appears to be a scam. Vybe also isn't shipping yet, Fitbit, Sony, Nike etc are just concerned with heart rate and sleep patterns which I could care less about. I want my wrist to vibrate the exact same way my phone does. Weird. The jawbone up24 looks neat but again doesnt appear to do it. Is there a way for an app to send vibrations to a bluetooth device? or do you need a specific API for the device itself?
grr..
