A huge Hear Hear to that!!!
6 or 7 yrs ago I had a big dust up with Nokia on that and similar issues,
before I started to get crappy with them, Consumer Guarantees Act etc etc..
I asked 'friendly questions of the techies, what sort of pay they gave, what
formal qualifications , ever worked on a Cisco. They paid crap, no
qualifications never seen a Cisco... I don't knock the Techies but I do
knock Nokia...From memory I think it was Data Com (top of Khyber pass in
Auckland) who where the 'agents' ...from the info I gleaned it seems as if
Nokia had 'dumped' these on the NZ market, along with the 500 series with a
next to nothing service budget, using Telecom as a marketing medium.
The agents couldn't get any good info out of Nokia, It seems NZ and maybe 1
other country are the only ones who had the m1122 and 500.
The 500 had bad over heating probs due to case design, in the States I
believe it was also available under diff model # and case.
I was also asked if they could use my research figures on over heating (well
outside advertised operating temps) or further investigations...they did
after some prodding admit knowledge of overheating.
Someware here I still have copies of the emails over several months
pertaining to the above, and another old member of this list can certainly
verify much of the above

Have a Nice Day
