The forensic analysis of a mobile phone can make or break an investigation says Rob Trevelyan
With the desire to own the latest technology more than half of the UK population now own a mobile phone, and as mobile phones become increasingly technologically advanced more people depend on them for their business as well as personal lives.
The majority of the latest phones are capable of performing far more functions than making and receiving telephone calls Most mobile phones have built-in cameras, music players, video players, Internet access, e-mail, removable storage media and are able to connect to other devices through their PC, Bluetooth, WiFi and infra-red communications. The addition of these features to a mobile phone has created small pocket-sized, handheld computers capable of storing large amounts of messages, phone numbers, multimedia, calendar entries, call logs, data etc. With the advent of the personal digital assistant (PDA) all information typically stored in a paper diary can be stored electronically. A typical mobile phone today also contains the functions of a PDA.
