You know what I mean.
Isn't Matsushita the umbrella company of Panasonic etc?
Well they have a site where you can just enter your battery number and it will tell you if your affected or not.

Nokia are probably just covering their corporate backsides by making that announcement, i only ever heard rumours of one actually going into meltdown, i use cheap foreign copies off Ebay anyway, Nokia are always harping on about the dangers of such, perhaps they should have looked closer to home

I would imagine only a tiny fraction of the 46 million, will actually end up being replaced. Most consumers will noit even be aware of the issue and of those that are, I think a large proportion will do nothing about it in terms of actively checking if they are effected or not.

Yeah and actually is Matushita the ones with the loss. Nokia only made this announcement after discovering/finding out that is not their fault ! Now they (nokia) say: Hey look how good and nice we are - if you are affected we (actually WE) will replace it for you because we are such nice people. Under cover Matushita pays to keep Nokia as a battery customer. Marketing ploy by Nokia - I like them but this move makes me wonder. No hot feelings, no pity, take no prisoners
Shame on you Nokia.

Well I don't think consumers actually know that the batteries were supplied by Matsushita but at least Nokia owned up and took the responsibility. Most people don't know who Matsushita are.

Is interesting to see Matsushita not recalling the very same battery which does not have the Nokia logo! I have a Holux M-1000 with a battery which falls in this category, ('made by Matsushita' and 'dec. 2006' - written on it) You think Nokia will replace it ?
