C55 is vulnerable as well, however it doesn't DoS - the phone hangs while reading SMS in ordinary way but at any time you may exit from "Please wait" screen by pressing "disconnect" key for a while. Only method to read the sms is to Edit it insted of View. SMS sent via www sms gateway _does_ "DoS". Regards, L.
