Selling or giving away cellphone and potential privacy problem

[rubberducky]

If I remove the SIM Card from my Nokia 3595 cellphone and then give it away or sell it, will the new owner be able to obtain any personal information from it?

for a start make sure all your saved contacts are on the sim card and not on the phone's memory.
so use the option to view numbers stored on phone.

delete all text messages
if you have setup email on your phone be sure to remove the account from the phone.
check everything you used the phone for and make sure all the personal information such as any notes,password vaults etc are deleted.

- and after doing all of the above (last post), i would do a 'master reset' on the phone, you should get a warning about erasing everything on the phone and resetting to factory defaults...

that should do it?
