Also German investigations \"STIFTUNG WARENTEST\" claim the same: Nokia batteries can overheat and even explode!

On some of the pictures posted from the exploding phones you can clearly see that some of them had an original Nokia battery. So, Nokia isn't exactly telling the truth here.

That's exactly what the pirate battery looks like. You can't see the difference from outside.

Nokia sent a couple of its engineers to Belgium yesterday to determine what kind of tests were run on the batteries after it had heard about the report. Their own tests never brought up any problems. The Finnish authorities will also test every mobile phone battery imported to Finland and ban faulty ones if necessary.
So I think you were wrong to say Nokia ignored the complaints.

@pprockar: that's exactly the aim of counterfeits! You can't tell the difference without analyzing the product quite closely!

from infosyncworld.com
Since the last update, Belgian consumer group backs down and agrees to new tests.
Consumer group Test-Aankoop has acknowledged that their recent investigation into exploding Nokia batteries produced 'invalid' results as the test samples may have been counterfeit.
Test-Aankoop found that certain models of Nokia batteries did not include short-circuit protections, a claim refuted by Nokia. The consumer group has accepted in a press release that a problem with piracy exists and may have biased the test results..
Test-Aankoop have now agreed to a new independent test of original Nokia batteries to avoid contamination by third-party samples.
Nokia is planning to display examples of counterfeit batteries on its web site, with the intention of helping consumers to avoid buying dodgy goods. This is to join an 'aggressive' program of anti-counterfeit measures.

Yes and now Nokia wants to do new tests. I think that Nokia had some prblems with shortcircuit protection in their batteries and when first cases comes out Nokia made some changes for those batterymodels who exploses. And now Nokia says that it is not possible. Hope that this test lab in Belgium will buy it self new Nokia batteries for tests and will not take batteries direct from Nokia. Maybe it is fair play from Nokia to say that: yes we had some problems with our batteries before but we made changes to sohrt circuit protection and now evrything is ok.
