Hacked!!!
This is the Nokia 6250, heavy duty variant of the 6210 model. Features water- and dust-proof case, rubber inserts, sound level meter, automatic compensation of outside noise...but i don't care about all this!
Thing is that i needed that phone because of easily enabled "Network Monitor" that is, Field Test Mode. We are testing our mobile platform with network operator and for testing special software is needed. You can, of course, purchase the FT-enabled phones from Nokia but they cost 10 times the normal model. So i have modified it on my own.
Battery was completely dead and not repairable and it was not possible to get replacement so i took cheapest Li-Ion battery from the shelf, soldered it to the connectors and...the bastard didn't want to charge. After some reading and experiments with a digital multimeter i've found out that a resistor fixes the problem! Voila, i have functioning phone with Field Test mode.
