Nokia Chases Blogger To Recover N8 Prototype

Posted by samzenpus on from the history-repeating dept.

boris writes "Nokia has approached Russian authorities to retrieve its N8 prototype from blogger Eldar Murtazin, in a case similar to Apple iPhone 4/Gizmodo fiasco. In its official blog, Nokia said, 'we formally requested the return of all unauthorized Nokia property from Mr. Murtazin and he declined to respond. As a result, we have contacted the Russian authorities to assist us in the return of all unauthorized Nokia property.'"

    COUNT ME IN.

    Think Jason Bourne meets Verizon guy.

    Nokia is Finnish. You know what happens when da russkies piss off finns?
    Fuckin' Winter War! That's what! And continuation war if they are not satisfied with the body count of the first one!

    Putin and whatever-the-official-president-is are probably right now personally crawling around, trying to get back the Finnish marvel of forbidden technology, lest Tarja bestows them with unimaginable horrors of "motti".
