It had been several months since my Sony Ericsson P990 stylus got stuck inside the casing. I was a little bit annoyed, since I can’t put a new stylus in it, but didn’t care too much because most of the time I just use my hand to select the menu, and use the keyboard to enter text.
When I bought a Torx T6 screw driver to replace MacBook Pro’s hard drive, I realized that the same screwdriver can be used to open P990i casing. So, I opened the casing, and I can pull out the old stylus. The stylus was stuck in a spring mechanism which I guess used to prevent the stylus from falling to easily.

Starter pack for GSM is very cheap, but the internet access cost is quite expensive (25 rupiah/kb, or about 2.8 USD/megabyte, at current rate).

The phone number (complete with the country code) is included on the request HTTP_USER_IDENTITY_FORWARD_MSISDN. it seems that my mobile carrier (XL) uses Huawei Technologies Gateway. I know the gateway from the value of HTTP_VIA Which says: "(InfoX WAP Gateway), HTTP/1.1, Huawei Technologies", and the existence of HTTP_X_HUAWEI_NASIP that says my private (internal) IP address.
