alert for sonyericsson users

[abhishekit]

Sonyericsson has posted an alert for t610 , t68i and some other models. They are open to 'snarfing' attack. So a remote computer without pairing up can download your cal and addressbook..
this problem is in the older phones with firmware R1A... So if you have that, you are advised to get it upgraded at the nearest sonyericsson service center.
cheers

This actually a Sony Erricson alert, or another wayward sensationalist attack by indepentant "security specialists"?
