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...
Well, it doesn't count much what you think, facts are the things that count. Next you'll propably suggest that Nokia has paid something to this testhouse in Belgium.

Unsafe Nokia batteries - or counterfeits?
By Jan Libbenga

Belgian consumer watchdog Test-Aankoop is to re-examine its claims that Nokia batteries are not safe. Nokia says that the batteries Test Aankoop tested must have been counterfeits.
Recently, the Belgian consumer watchdog, along with German counterpart Warentest, branded several Nokia mobile phone batteries as "unsafe" and "unprotected against short-circuiting", in particular the Nokia BML-3, BMC-3 and BLC-2.
This sparked of a vicious condemnation by Nokia, attacking these "totally false" claims. All Nokia batteries are designed and manufactured adhering to stringent safety and quality measures, Nokia said in a statement notably short of detail.
Both consumer organisations short circuited over 50 mobile phone batteries. Most of these batteries were able to withstand the test, but eight models with the name Nokia on it got really hot, to over 140 degrees Celsius. Some even melted. You can see pictures at this page. Oddly enough, the Nokia batteries tested in Germany were safe, while those purchased in shops in Belgium were not. Both organisations also emphasise that none of the batteries exploded.
However, Warentest still believes consumers should be careful when using Nokia batteries. 'We bought the batteries from retailers, just like any other consumer would have done,’ an Warentest test editor tells the German news site Spiegel Online. ®

No, the old batteries are still dangerous. It's the new batteries where Nokia have put the "missing peace" in.

How would a consumer know if a Nokia battery is an original or counterfeit? As we all know, they all look the same from the outside.

It seems2me that the 'nokia defenders' r deaf&blind.Read it out loud:'The nokia phones r PROVED exploding, so stop defending them!' And when MANY DIFF'RENT organisations check 'em and the results r the same.Also,we all read the stories from different countries.Enuf said.

Got me there, I didn't read the article before posting
. But I still am right... The new test only proves that the new batteries are safe. This test tested the newest batteries, the old test tested the old batteries. And both tests are correct.
Check this article out (and make sure not to post before having read
)
Mobil.se (swedish site and I don't have time to translate now, could someone do that please?)

Exactly and the batteries sent to the lab are most likely tested by Nokia before shipment to make sure they are ok.
Som of the people with exploding phones says they haven't changed the original battery that came with the phone. Nokia is trying really hard to make people believe that the original batteries are safe... they are trying a little too hard if you ask me.
A quote from Nokia at Mobil.se is quite intresting... a translated to english it would be someting like this:
"None of the exploding batteries in our finished tests have been found to be Nokia original batteries".. Well if you want to you could interperet this as the cases with original batteries exploding are still under investigation, and will probably be under investigation for a long time and in the meantime no completed tests show any original batteries involved.
