Yes, and one time I noted that after the screen was full of random data,
after some seconds from the middle line to the bottom line there was a
random screen update, it was fast, but I remember it was linear from up to
down.
Just now I'm not able to reproduce, I do not know if it's due to a good GSM
coverage here.
