thank you for your suggestions. 

Actually i could use some old phones that supports only GPRS (e.g. t68i, t39m, etc..), but these phones are not enough useful and i will explain why:

- i would like to use a phone that has field-test engineering;
- i would like to set the phone to camp only in a fixed ARFCN.

I was also trying a Pirelli DP-L10, but unfortunately i can only fix the band and not the arfcn. 


Btw... after a while i finally found how to force my Blackberry to work on GPRS on a fixed arfcn:

- Select an arfcn;
- Lock to this cell;  [ http://tinyurl.com/3dcc6vm ]
- Disable Uplink 8-PSK; [ http://tinyurl.com/3dxp85d ]

 Finally the phone is ready to start the tests. [ http://tinyurl.com/3rhldrn ]


As you can see, that engineering field-test is very useful because is showing which Coding Scheme and TS are used.


Unfortunately at this point... even if i tried a lot of times, i could see imm-ass, the TS, but when i'm trying to decode the dumps... nothing is decoded and i cannot even decode third-party sessions that obviously i could find on the same arfcn that i'm using.

So, at this state of art, I could decode only samples released from Nohl.
Someone else is having same problems?
