Nokia to Replace 43 Million Batteries

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-more-burning-phone dept.

mysqlbytes writes "According to a recent post on the BBC's website, Nokia has admitted to a problem in the BL-5C batteries made by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. For some of us, it means longer battery life with a new lease of life and for some of us, no more burnt legs. You can check out the product advisory here."

    I wish they would recall my N75 battery, I have to charge it about every night, and it's brand new. Everyone else I know that has one has the same problem too. I wonder if I can get a third party battery for it? Anybody know?

    and their anti-war stance, and open border policy, and support of separation of church and state...Oh wait. They really aren't very much like Republicans after all.

  4. Brownyness Rating by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    A simple scale for measuring the brownyness of a person is the Cosby Brownyness Scale.
    An albino has the rating 1 millicosby (mC)
    A suntanned Caucasian 100mC
    A dark person 1 Cosby (C)
    very dark people can have a rating of 5 Cosbys (C)

    The rating can be modified for persons of Asian descent by applying the Karrot Factor. The average Asian would have a rating of 250mC, Karrot Factor 5(250mC/KF5)
