They're sending the email address, username and password to Nokia to do determine right settings (servername etc) for the email account. I suppose they have some sort of database of email settings for common email providers. Of course, we all know that they have to have the username and password, the domain part of the email address wouldn't be enough.
I don't feel like a proud Finn right now. I'm also not very happy to deal with the issue, since I do it-support to a company that recently got few of these new fancy smart phones and is using them for email too. No use to set up SSL both ways, thanks to backdoors in the device.
I agree on most parts, but I have something to say about option "Finland", where I happen to live. Under Russian pressure, a web-site (hosted in Finland) criticizing (among other things) Russia's actions in Chechnya (http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/) was forced to close. This happened in the end of year 2004. Finnish officials denied (as usual) that Russians had anything to do with it, whereas Russians (as usual) clearly said they had. Btw, kavkazcenter is a great resource of news outside mainstream media. Russia and USA is not that far from each other nowadays, but it's of course more hip to criticize USA.
