Nokia Batteries OVER HEATING

Being a proud owner of the Nokia E50, I was slightly concerned to hear wind of a fault on Nokia batteries overheating. This reportedly affects the Nokia BL-5C battery which is present in quite a few of their handsets. Luckily, after checking the serial number of my battery, mine hasn’t been affected but if it had been; Nokia it seems would send a replacement battery and a prepaid envelope to post back the old one which I guess isn’t too bad.

Anyway, have a look at http://batteryreplacement.nokia.com/batteryreplacement/en/ if you think yours could be affected. Alternatively call Nokia Customer Services on 0845 0455555. Let us know how you get on if you experience difficulties.

Nokia 8800 Sirocco

What’s there to say about this phone that you haven’t already heard? I’ve had mine for over 8 months now and I love it!

Often the object of ridicule for my choice of ‘style’ over ‘substance’, I am more than comforted by the fact that it does exactly what I wanted my mobile phone to do which is make calls! Personally the option to have a phone with GPS, 2MP, MP3 makes me feel like the quality of the components is somewhat compromised even if it does stop me having to wear combat trousers with 15 pockets everywhere I go!! The fact that the sleek Nokia 8800 has one included is merely an unused bonus.

I personally prefer to have an iPod for my music, a Sony 8 MP camera for picture and a Nokia 8800 Sirocco because they all do what they are meant to, brilliantly!

The choice is yours but with the introduction of the new Nokia 8600 Luna, the price of this modern classic should now be that little more affordable.
