As you know Nokia's been dabbling with the whole do-it-yourself firmware upgrade lately.
Many E70 owners who gave the update process a whirl in the past few days were horrified to find that the procedure magically transformed their S60 phones into paperweights in just a handful of minutes.
The phone teases you by turning on and dutifully displaying the "Nokia" logo, but that's as far as she goes. Rumor has it Nokia did the right thing by pulling the offending firmware and quickly replacing it with a new one, but that's little consolation for the folks bidding farewell to their handsets as they get shipped off to Nokia service centers around the world.

Surely the new E70 firmware would render the dead ones anyway?

Hi all,
as terrible as this news is of course SEUS has never done this has it? well not much anyway you just gotta love technology. I don't remember SE ever apologiseing either at least Nokia seem to have held thier hands up to this mistake.
