That is training is key. Many people will use a tool and because it requires some time to get it to talk to the phone dismiss it as a faulty tool. I know I had that perception with a couple of these tools when I started. Most of my errors I had were mine because I did something wrong, not because of the tool. I know that no one likes to admit it, but we as users are a lot of the problem. I am doing my Paraben PCME right now and after attending all their training as well as some of the other training classes out there I have to give them credit they are the company committed to doing cell forensics. Their tool was designed for investigators, and although the drivers are a pain to load they follow the best forensic principles and I have not had any problems with their support, actually the opposite, they bent over backwards to help me. I have my favorite secondary tools such as BitPim and Mobiledit!, but I think it is time someone at least say what the real problem is, and that is we are all overwhelmed with our workload and if it doesn’t work perfect on click one we give up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746946614390371171.post-59725211911169564972009-05-06T12:50:00.000-07:002009-05-06T12:50:00.000-07:00Hello.<br />My name is Tudor, and I'm running a small Internet based business (selling a hybrid software - web service product, for automatic backup of mobile phones data). I'm located in Romania (www.f-spy.ro).<br />My costumers are interested in data recovery from sim-cards, like deleted sms. I was trying a solution provided by Data Doctor Recovery (software). Its not working at all. I can not read any deleted sms.<br />Now, because you are a real specialist in data recovery, I want to ask you about another products:<br />-BrickHouse Security ( http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/cellphone-spy-simcardreader.html )- Cell Phone Spy.<br />-Paraben's SIM card Seizure (software product).<br />I remind you that I am interested especially in recovery of deleted sms.<br />So, can you let me know please, if this solutions and products are working? I really trust your expertise and experience in the field of data recovery.<br />Thanks a lot for helping me.<br />Regards,<br />Tudor.<br />PS: excuse my grammar, unfortunately english is not my first language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746946614390371171.post-25601333804912088842009-04-22T02:36:00.000-07:002009-04-22T02:36:00.000-07:00Micro Systemations XRY and XACT units are more or less standard in Europe and have just opened their office in the States. Go to www.msab.com and contact them for a run through of the products. They now have a CDMA system at the R&amp;D in Sweden so more US phones will be added.

I think Paraben was too easily dismissed. I had a lot of the same perceptions until I went to their training. I now use Paraben as my primary tool simply because it often gets full memory dumps. They also now allow data exports so I can back up my cases in a non-proprietary format. <BR/><BR/>I never experienced the "bad" support others have talked about but they must have improved a lot because I've received great support over the last year. I do have some of the other tools mentioned but only use them as a backup and am usually disappointed at only getting logical data.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746946614390371171.post-76703475664868505252009-02-22T11:31:00.000-08:002009-02-22T11:31:00.000-08:00Hi,<BR/>You should also include a review on IntaForensics ART for manual phone analysis.
