Ok, so first of all, it was inside a mobilephone (Nokia) that I found.
The phone itself was working, but it was locked and could not take my simcard.

So I wanted to see what was inside it, and at the very end of the case, was a rectangular shaped little box, with a black thing stuck to it.. Carefully removed the black thing that was stuck to it and I saw following:
TOSHIBA
MK4001MTD [4GB]
HDD0112 N ZF01


I googled it, and it was a harddrive :eek:
Maybe if I can't find any use for it, it would make a nice keychain accessory?

So - can I use it for anything?

Stick it on a key ring if it's not too big. I don't think the connector on it will be compatible with a PC at all, so I cant think of any other use for it.

Ok, but did you find that phone in a dustroom, thrown together with an iPhone G1 that looked like someone had thrown it against a brick wall??

I did.
