Yeh I imagine on a lot of systems that are operating right on the limit of
what's possible there are cool things like this that have to be done.
On a side note, isn't that a pretty bad security design, in that your
handset could (in theory) be able to display a list of all phone numbers
called in your cell? I mean your phone could just store the last few
seconds worth of called-numbers in your cell, and then when you hear your
target's phone ring, trial and error through the short-list for to get their
number.
