Owners of the T Mobile Sidekick 3 are being warned today after the magnetic phone was found to wipe credit card data.
The magnet used by the phone is strong enough to hold metal objects and apparently can wipe a credit cards magnetic strip in under a second rendering the card unusable.
Users are being told to keep the phone in a separate pocket to any credit cards and not leave them in close proximity at any time.
