Hmm, is there any way to mod these symbian OS phones for a Tor-like
effect? You could route calls and GPS signals through other phones. The
minutes used would be a lot, but if you have onion phone networks that
were per provider and had the free
(verizon2verizon/tmobile2tmobile/etc.) in network calls, this might be
doable if enough ppl got behind it.

Hmm the govt. fails to respect their own laws so technology forces it
down their throat... I like the sound of that.

Would this be in violation of the E911 legislation?
