Nokia have announced a battery recall for some BL-5C phone batteries manufactured between Dec 2005 and Nov 2006. In very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge.
Since so many people carry Nokia phones, I though it might help to post the link below which provides you details on how to check if your battery comes from the affected batch. Remember to look closely to spot the difference between ‘zeroes’ and the capital letter O – it can be hard to tell. Also think of sending the link on to anyone you know that uses Nokia phones.

Yes Little Mammy, I posted about the above. My phone was bought in June 2005, so i should be OK.

Yup, you’ll be grand – that would also suggest that you could be due an upgraded handset as well if you’ve had it that long. Don’t forget your Irish one as well – it was quite old too, wasn’t it?
