It seems to be a somewhat local thing though, from what I've seen only some US operators were involved in adding the software, which would explain the lack of mainstream media coverage.

N900 <-> other computer <-> internet
and watch the traffic on this "other computer" by wireshark & Co.

Of course - furthermore, it's even possible to modify some linux routers (WRT54GS/GL etc.), to sniff packets, so no need for additional computer. Still, using this option is beyond my current knowledge, though (wireshark on router with openwrt or tomato, not on another computer 
)

If I was trying to hide some spyware activity, that's exactly what I would do - try and hide it amongst normal activity.
Estel, afaik, Wireshark is fully featured (probably a few versions behind tho) on the N900. Honestly though, I'd say someone needs to port Snort, if you want a good use-configurable firewall and intrusion detection (which in turn can throw a fit if you have rules set up to detect unauthorized outbound traffic) thing on the N900. Remind me in two weeks, when winter break starts for me. I should have time then.
I'll try to package up my Monitor Clock for Advanced Clock Plugin this weekend. In the meantime users of Advanced Clock Plugin can download the python file for it directly in a .tar in the Advanced Clock Plugin announcement thread.

In the news again:
Legal row over Carrier IQ 'surveillance' app claims
Nokia and Blackberry have officially announced that their handsets do not contain CarrierIQ.
This reminds me of a big row that was kicked up after it was revealed that some ISPs in the UK were using Phorm (a derivative of the most prolific and damaging malware also known as 121Media) without their customer's consent.
