Ok before freaking out, tell us your phone setup

1. Do you have it locked? Is there are possibility you might accidentally tapped a contact and call?
2. Are those contacts on the desktop?
3. What other applications have you got installed?
4. What firmware are you using?

It seems like 'user's fault' than device fault.

Would have expect alot more reports coming in about this if it was a wide issue.

Ask your friends at what time the call was made, check phone recent call list + on carrier's website call log

Only if you install Crash Reporter, that it will send report of any crashes to Nokia to investigate.

As far as international calls go. Step one would be to remove/modify those contacts #s to prevent that. It would be different if it were dialing random numbers. Also you aren't running anything like Gizmo/Google Voice/Skype/etc. right?

and lastly your name isn't John Connor is it? =p
No I can see the one that is just 30 minutes ago, so it is up to date.
Ok going to delete all international contacts.
And not my name is not John Connor. ( may I ask why you asked me this question?)

1. It locks the screen by itself, and I do lock it everytime I am not using it.
2. Only 5 contacts on desktop, none of them have yet complained.
3. Pixelpipe, Bounce, Foreca Weather, FM radio.
4. Using the retail firmware, Have not flashed or anything, I believe it is 42-11-09.001??

Asked them exact time when they called and checked my call log and tmobile's website there is nothing.

I would love to install this if they have any USA number that it will report to. Not interested if this is going to be international text though.

In the meantime you could contact your Telco and ask them to bar international calls, and calls to the future.

You didn't install a program called SkyNet by any chance?

Could this be the first maemo virus!

http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware explains how to reflash, and is the primary source.

So in order to track this down, please provide the complete list of third party software that you have installed.
