While at Sol Wireless, one of the investigators observed defendant Pino
take a Nokia 1100 wireless handset out of a plastic bag, remove the back
cover of the phone, and insert a small, black, square-shaped device
approximately three inches in diameter into the back of the wireless phone
where the battery is located. The device was then connected by a black
curled cord, similar to a telephone cord, to the back of a computer
located on top of the desk. After a short time, the device was removed
from the back of the wireless phone. This action took approximately one to
two minutes to accomplish. Pino performed the same process on each of
Nokia wireless phones purchased by the investigator. The phones, along
with a battery and charger, were then packaged in Nokia container boxes.

This might explain some of an earlier post about the cell phone
terrorists. They would be removing the battery in order to unlock the
phones with the laptop?
