"The sheer volume of handsets involved has tipped the balance of cost to the point that for many forces it no longer makes financial sense to outsource every device to a specialist company."
"…tipped the balance of cost?! What are the causes to bring about that catalyst then?
Also, the
only completely accurate times on phones are actually on
inbound text messages, because those dates and times
are put on by the telephone network – other dates and
times are taken form the handset locally. So sometimes
the Court needs more detailed explanation.”

eg two text msges sent to my nokia 8800 at 1845 and 2257 on saturday,when i turned my phone on sunday morn 0920 the phone bleeped to let me know of these msges and the details were "received 1845 hrs sat….. & received 2257 sat……
however a msg sent on sat at 1850 for my blackberry,on turning my bb on sun morn 0920 hrs the msg details state "received 0920 sun…..
