   * All Nokias have FBUS and MBUS 'ports' - while the MBUS is a bit strange with RX and TX over one wire, FBUS is a nice, simple serial with a binary protocol.   * All Nokias have FBUS and MBUS 'ports' - while the MBUS is a bit strange with RX and TX over one wire, FBUS is a nice, simple serial with a binary protocol.
   * FBUS communication is done over three wires (GND, RX, TX), whereas MBUS is done over two (GND, RX&TX on one wire).   * FBUS communication is done over three wires (GND, RX, TX), whereas MBUS is done over two (GND, RX&TX on one wire).
-  * Information on using fbus can be foundd at [[http://www.embedtronics.com/nokia/fbus.html|Embedtronics]] 
   * Exposed contacts for FBUS are usually available on the outside of the phone only for older models. New Nokias have gold pads on the inside which are incredibly difficult to solder as they are gold plated.   * Exposed contacts for FBUS are usually available on the outside of the phone only for older models.

 +  * the T86i has 2.8v 9600 baud serial broken out - This is the easiest solution, as the UART is physically exposed. [[http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-A-N/erics_t28_pinout.shtml|This pinout]] is correct, and the pins required are pin 4 and 10. A DKU-11 USB cable works fine if you don't fancy soldering to the phone itself, but it's still difficult to hack. Many payloads have achieved success with this phone!
