Wasn't there a news bit not long ago about law enforcement agencies being puzzled by criminals buying/stealing loads of cheap Motorola phones?

I seem to remember something about Nokia 1100 phones being used for bank fraud (only specific ones that were manufactured in the Bochum plant).

Edit : Spelling.

Right, that's the one I was thinking of.

Was there? Sounds kinda familiar... interesting!
