Sat, 05 May 2012 11:52:07 +0100

Researchers of University of Minnesota have found that phone towers are leaking location information that can be used to track a mobile phone’s exact location.

At the time, I couldn’t find many reviews of the phone that weren’t pretty superficial copy and paste jobs of the press release or spec sheet. I also couldn’t find any reviews from the point of view of people like me - upgraders from previous Nokia smartphones.

We are the brand value that Nokia still has. So I thought I’d note down my experiences.
