Are you serious? How very interesting. Really would like to hear from someone with experience in inducing errors that can say what the risks for permanent damage would be, save for data loss in case of flushing corrupted data to disk for course.

I am. This worked for me since the GSM-era. Imagine slowly pointing it like a wand, sweeping up and down, left, right, going nearer...into, searching. Until it ZAPS. Doesn't need touching. Or less than an inch distance. About 3 to 2 inches it usually is, but i also had crashs/freezes at maybe 10 to 5 inches, just outside the case when it was open.

edit: By searching for networks i mean for the telcos, not wifi. Then it uses all bands it is capable of.

What exactly do you mean when you say it ZAPS ?
I meant this as a figure of speech, not literally. There are no sparks flying, or something like that. "Zapping/tazing" it by applying some EMF, nothing more :)
