(Los Angeles, CA) – March 31, 2009— FINALDATA, a global leader in data recovery solutions, today announced the release of its updated FINALMobile Forensics 2.1, a revolutionary forensics investigative tool for CDMA phones that retrieves comprehensive data such as deleted items, lock codes, and SMS messages.  With the announcement of this updated version, FINALDATA is extending a free evaluation edition for qualified users.

New advanced analysis features in this enhanced version include: translation of coded SMS messages, parsing of (deleted) call logs/contacts for most LG Electronics and Motorola® devices, and additional phone number and time-stamp analysis tools.  The evaluation edition is a limited version that highlights the advantages of FINALMobile Forensics.

FINALMobile Forensics is now a global CDMA solution in that it now includes specific communication protocols for both eastern and western hemisphere devices.

Unlike current competing products that typically offer limited data acquisition, FINALMobile attempts to retrieve the entire file system off a phone, often including deleted data that may reveal essential evidence relevant to an investigation, Featuring an intuitive and straightforward interface, FINALMobile makes it simple for investigators to not only acquire data but also extensively analyze it. Its advanced analysis software allows investigators to quickly view and capture data to create customized reports.  Additionally, its powerful search functions encourage rapid filtering of data.
