It should also tell if the user has written the PIN to many times and
therefor must use the PUK code.

Also: I am not sure if NM is the correct application to control a mobile
phone. On my win PC Dell (with Vodaphone) has a separate application to
control the onboard 3g-card. With this application one can also send
SMS-messages.

Also (2): I have a HTC Dual Touch that I can connect with my USB cable.
Is there some data from this that you would need.
