Well it might be if that page took you anywhere useful. All I got was a
few pictures and an address in Indonesia. No links, prices or anything of
any use.

PS would *you* send money to someone in Indonesia..? Why can't someone
local supply these..?

Yes, the webpage is far from complete, but you can always send them
email for the price.
Field test (aka. netmonitor) in DCT4 is all about flashfile/firmware.
Who has this firmware? only Nokia and someone that has access to
Nokia. Well, maybe later on the firmware will be available for public
and we can make our own field test phone, but I doubt it will be next
year or two or three... This 'hope' already came up since the first
DCT4 netmonitor released.
This is already a good news that you don't have to be a network
operator to have a DCT4 netmonitor. Try to ask Nokia to buy this
phone and you'll see that they threat DCT4 netmonitor like a gun, you
must be this, that, and so on..

7600 (3G): $560, tax included. I'm not sure about other types.

Would that be *US* dollars ? Because if it is, that's bloody expensive for
a 7600.

I only paid £45($83USD) here in the UK for a new 7600, and that
included £15 worth of airtime on ThreePay.

Order them yourself, they're £39.99 at Amazon or £44.99 at Carphone
Warehouse (when they get some more stock in).

As for what you can do with NetMon, for the casual user there is very little
point having it on the phone - infact it can be more trouble than it's worth
with the inherent dangers of some of the settings.

You can generally get it back though.

Old pal of mine had it enabled on a 6150 (?) was trying to show off with it
in the pub so I set it to cell barr while he was in the loo, he couldnt use
the phone for weeks until I told him what id done ;-)

If this site is genuine my company would be interested in getting stuff from
them as Nokia can charge silly money for test phones and all it is a flash
file that they put on, cant be that hard surley?

Generally (on DCT3 handsets, definately), but not always. I've got a 6310i
sitting here at the moment that's going to be more than a 2 minute job to
fix just because some twonk didn't know what they were doing with NetMon.

Yes, but that was a DCT3 phone. Some of the settings in NetMon are nigh-on
irreversible on DCT4 handsets.

It is to do with the flash file, but it's a bit more complicated than that.
Mind you, I agree with your assessment of Nokia's pricing, but I'd have
major reservations dealing with an Indonesian dealer bearing in mind the
costs involved.
