I realized this after it I realized within 2 days of buying the phone that it wasn't retaining power. I went to the retailer where I'd bought the phone and they exchanged the battery for me. The new one had the same problem. Upon returning it they informed me that they couldn't change it for me as they don't have a warranty for the battery but only the phone and had only exchanged it for me the first time as a favor. A friend told me to visit Nokia.com to check my battery. I entered the serial number, only to find out that the BL-5C battery was faulty and had already been registered by another person. I went to a Nokia care center and they told me that I shouldn't use the battery and that they weren't replacing the batteries at the moment as the replacements hadn't come. About the battery being registered by another person, they told me to visit their main Nokia outlet at Ngong Race course Biz Park. I have no idea where that is. I'm discouraged coz I have to buy a new battery now after buying a new phone less than a week ago. I'd really saved to buy that phone. It's discouraging to get faulty items like that coz u end up spending more cash. Hi. bough a Nokia 3310 last week and guess what. my battery was on e of the defective ones.

I decided to turn off the plugin for now. I had been wondering why there has been the same amount of spam even when I had already installed the plugin. My next steps would be to find a filter that actually works! Thanks for that notice Mrs. Flipphead. I decided to turn off the plugin for now.

People should be able to stop in to a retailer and exchange their battery for a new one if it is defective. It's ridiculous that you should have to jump through hoops to get a replacement for a dangerously defective item. An item which people will no doubt continue to use since we have all become dependent on them. I have to agree with you.
