Thought some might wanna discuss Carrier IQ and privacy. (See the news in the forum or Google 'Carrier IQ') This seems particularly evil, pre-installed malware.
Known to be on many Verizon and Sprint phones. I don't know about AT&T or T-Mobile. T-Mo has not responded on their support site. I just called T-Mo and had a good if uninformative discussion with a T-Mo tech support supervisor who had not yet heard of Carrier IQ. Promised to see if he could find out if T-Mo is using it and call or email back.
Anyone know of a list of carriers, manufacturers or phones models using Carrier IQ?
EDIT: Basic check to see if it's running on your phone...
Look under Menu > Settings > Applications > Running services. Check for 'IQ Agent Service'.
