How do you detect a mobile phone in the cabin?

Folks,

Was on a flight today where the Captain announced that "someone has a Nokia 6320i on in the cabin..."

Now, did he pick this up on his own phone via bluetooth, was he chancing his arm in knowing a phone was on and guessing the type, or can you genuinely detect a mobile down to type?

What sort of equipment in the cockpit can detect this?

Much curious, answers appreciated
