Well, there actually is a standard protocol for mobile devices to precisely do that !
It is called "Diagnostics and Monitoring" (DiagMon) and "Software Components Management Objects" (SCOMO) and is specified by the Device Management (DM) working group of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), the folks who specify most mobile applications protocols (including the infamous WAP, MMS, etc.)
It turns out that most mobile operators will make this feature mandatory to cater for the needs of entreprise IT departments
and -yes- WinMob and Symbian have this feature
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
