The answer is "yes!", but security measures will always be there like Bluetooth pairing first and/or passwords.

SMS

When I was still using a separate Palm PDA (not smartphone) and a Sony Ericsson mobile phone (not smartphone), I use my Palm's default SMS application (other 3rd party applictions are also available) to compose, send, receive, sync or retrieve and erase SMS messages from my phone. Its actually like my PDA handheld being the SMS messenger without having to get my phone from my pocket. And I mean full/total control of all SMS.

Calling/Dialing/e-mail

With the same devices, I can also directly make a call (not talk, dial only) straight from my PDA to my phone. Believe it or not, my mobile phone doesn't have a single contact - all are stored on my PDA (I'm now using 2 smartphones). And with my Jabra Bluetooth headset, I don't even have to pull out my mobile phone anymore.

I also used to have this software called SEBlue. It gets my phone's data/basic info to my PDA like battery charge, SIM status, signal strength, etc.

On my Mac to/from my mobile devices, I simply use Bluetooth File Exchange to browse and take control of my data to/from my other mobile devices.

[This is quite off-topic.]

For PIMs, I love using Apple's iSync to sync all my devices.

Probes have been sed in the past, but they need to be n very close vicinity and also trained towards th caller.

I dobt that anyone would use that sort of technology for personal phone "hacking", especially in Qatar.

If you think about it, this physical access requirement severely limits the threat of cell phone spying. An anonymous criminal tapping into your phone from across the Internet is frightening; having a family member or ex-boyfriend spy on your phone is still spooky, but that's not really a technology problem. After all, someone who had possession of your phone long enough install software could also read through your sent text messages.

There have been some demonstrations of spyware being added to cell phones without physical access -- over short distances using Bluetooth technology, for example.

As far as I know it is not possible..The serice provider may be able to save your messages including the called numbers, but what you are suggesting is not possible without extremely specialized equipment.

no, what i mean is, an application which can browse the content of your phone from another phone (like windows explorer). The connection is just bluetooth. Not browsing using the internet and IE.

yes, technically it is possible, from mobile to mobile but in special cases. So dont turn on your bluetooth all the time :)

yallah, so it IS possible?? ...

how does it work? the person can see only content of my mobile while browsing?.. i mean, is that possible to set up in his mobile in a way, that when i send a sms, the sms itself or a copy of it comes automatically to this connected to me mobile?

no, not possible from another mobile...not unless they are paired/connected thru bluetooth and theres a special application on the other handset to browse the other mobile's content. Also, it is possible from the network operator side, if the engineers wish to see it for troubleshooting, isolation or investigative purposes.
