Siemens SL-65 Interceptor spy phone
So the premise of spying on someone, whatever the reasons, is definitely not new to cellphones. The incessant paranoia keeps gadgets like these popping up every so often -- but the Siemens SL-65 takes high-end voyeurism to an even darker corner. As you'd probably imagine, you dial up the device's super-secret number to instantly surreptitious listen in on whatever's happening up to five meters away from the mic. For even more "proof" of an ongoing scandal, the phone will automatically send the caller an SMS whenever a call is made or received, so you can spend ever more time wondering who's calling at 1:00AM. Spyphones even goes so far as claiming no technician can ever identify its secretive nature (unless of course they read Engadget), but at €1,699.00 ($2,169.96 USD), the SL-65 is only slightly less expensive than a private investigator -- and we do stress slightly.

okay... i gotta admit, you need to be careful in a society so wired that data can be easily stolen, but c'mon! if you're a paranoid person, fine, go ahead and pay crap-loads of cash for this thing. if, however, you feel that security is important, than just learn how to use the locks on your phone and store all the phone numbers to the sim card so the thief will be s***-outta-luck when they try to get into your phone. sure, it'll take you about one minute to get to your phone book instead of ten seconds, but it works for us ordinary folk.

Hey -_-, i think this is geared more towards the rich little kids in the country club areas who like to head down to the ghetto searching for a sandwich bag worth over $100.
Rich parent spends more to be able to take the freedom of choice away from the kids. kids: "sure dad, we will call you once we leave town, and will tell you where we are at every moment, just give me a phone now" just about every kid has said that. with the introduction of this phone, that little verbal talk became a binding contract whereas the parent gets the info they were promised.
