Oh, and if it's cell phone stuff you're looking at, I noticed that the
OsmocommBB guys have been looking at the MT6235 chipset lately, since
you can get almost the whole datasheet online.  The only part not
documented is the DSP unit, but someone helpfully checked in the
source tree to google code, and you probably don't need that anyway if
you just want to turn a cheap phone into a cell phone sniffer.

Phones built around the MT6235 are really cheap, too.
