I have sent this to the security mail of nokia without success and to the
normal support contact with no response.

So I forward this I think could be interesting. I just see other strange
memory behaviour like the one described : a
calendar entry having the ending characters of another entry. And when I
change one entry this seems to change and
corrupting the other and vice versa.

I don't tested these problems on other nokia models.
