Well, in fact you can easily recover the data directly on the phone using
something like FExplorer and an hex editor
just take a look at the files in the subfolders of C:\system\Mail
(hint hint: you can also copy attached files over to anywhere on the FS from
there)

>>But if all you're trying to do is retrieve SMS messages, it'd be a lot
easier to just subpoena the carrier .. they keep the contents forever

gd,
You can also recover SMS from flash memory cards used in these Nokia
phones. The phones has a feature wherein you can archive or backup SMS
to the cards. So even if they delete the backup you could just
undelete the .dat files using something like Testdisk to recover the
messages.

This is a call for any software developers out there willing to spend a
bit of time to write a shred application for these types of files.

In fact this is so well known that many of the charities that accept donated
cell phones provide tools for secure deletion of data prior to shipping the
phone.

Hi there, you may wanna try out this software called mobiledit too. It's
more of a mobile phone forensic software..you'll be surprised at the type of
data you can fish out from your mobile using this software! It does supports
a wide range of different phone models for analysis too.

and what's more .. Flash memory not being infinitely over-writable, file
systems used on those devices (JFFS2 for example) actually encourage
leaving data behind by ensuring recently unlinked logical blocks aren't

Backing up my phone created a single .ndu file (not multiple dats). I

I was curious, so I took a Nokia N75 (S60 3rd Edition FP 0) and deleted all
of my messages. I then hooked it up to my PC and ran a backup with the
nokia PC suite. The file was saved into one large .nbu file. At this point
I had no SMS messages left on my phone.
The .nbu file is binary, but the

During some research, I found an intersting "feature"
on my Nokia mobile phone; I was able to retrieve any
apparently deleted sms/mms.
Letting aside some paranoid thoughts about WHY this
sms are not deleted, I think that, while this represents
an high risk for our privacy, this discove
