yes because the transmitter side of the phone will still be active and would
remain active while the phone was powered

indeed, even though the network wouldn't accept the SIM, the phone would
still be trying to log on, hence transmitting.

indeed. If it's that simple why can't it be done? perhaps the same reason
you can't send stuff by IR on a series 40 phone. it's useful, and useful
means bad in the nokia dictionary.

Yup.. compare 2002 and 2003 (current mono screen models) - the older ones
have WAP and IR.. (5210 etc) whereas the newer 2100, 3610 don't have one or
both (of Wap/IR).... but the 6610 etc has GPRS, IR, WAP.... i think its a
marketing strategy to sell more expensive models (clr screens) than the mono
screens.
