Nokia Recalls Battery from Panasonic

It's the first time I've heard of a recall coming to the shores of our little Islands of the Philippines. Nokia is in full blast to recall BL-5C batteries. But take note, it's not going to be easy. One has to go to their website and input the serial numbers of the battery for confirmation if indeed the battery is part of the recall. It does not end their, after which, if proven valid, he/she will be forwarded to another website and will be asked to fill out an electronic form. Talk about paranoia, well, I guess we can't blame Nokia for being such, considering mobile phone batteries are "abundant" in our part of the world, and it all comes cheap!

I wonder though, it's a new battery if proven genuine, but how about those who does not know how to get into the interweb or have no money to call the Nokia hotlines? Well, by the looks of the options left, he/she is force to go to the nearest Nokia Business Center. Works for me!
