It's a normal Nokia, trust me...

Spyphone? You too can be a secret agent. Or, a prying mobile nuisance. Just persuade your target to accept an ordinary Nokia phone as a gift. Or so it seems...

The source is obviously not famous for its expertise on the subject of kids. It's the Eye Spy USA Shop: and the phone is the apparently standard Nokia (Spyhone II) 8210. Except, you can silently dial into it.

Let's assume that we don't know anything about kids, either, and fantasise that any human under the age of 25 might be seen dead carrying the 8210. In that case:

How to turn your mobile into a baby-sitting tool!

Monitoring a room - This works exactly the same way as the original 3310 Dimension.

Monitoring an individual - Simply enter the secret access menu and program any mobile/landline number. Now dial the 3310 [they probably left this in from the old prod spec - Ed] from that stored secret number and you can listen into the immediate surrounding sounds and conversations.

The phone shows NO indication you are listening in thus can be given to your children for example and used as an everyday mobile phone without arousing suspicion.

Only 275 quid!

We'd be more impressed if they found a way of embedding the bug in the phone battery, so that you didn't have to start your spy tactics by "giving" a "perferctly normal phone" to someone. Want sweeties, little girl?
