Well it seems like Nokia is now affected by the vast majority of battery recalls hitting companies. The only battery affected is the BL-5C which was manufactured between December 2005 and November 2006.
Mobile handset manufacturer Nokia today issued a product advisory to recall close to 46 million Nokia-branded BL-5C batteries manufactured by Japan-based Matsushita Battery Industrial between December 2005 and November 2006.The company stated that in rare cases, the batteries could potentially experience overheating initiated by a short circuit while charging causing the battery to dislodge. The company has received more than 100 complaints of overheating globally.
Nokia is working closely with Matsushita, and will be co-operating with relevant authorities to investigate the situation. Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries who have collectively produced more than 300 million BL-5C batteries.
In order to determine if a battery is subject to this advisory, it is necessary to remove the battery from the device. A Nokia battery will have “Nokia” and “BL-5C” printed on the front of the battery. On the reverse, the Nokia mark appears at the top and the battery identification number (consisting 26 characters) is found at the bottom. Consumers should refer to this identification number to determine if their battery is among the batteries manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006.

According to latest internal Best Buy reports reveal that the Xbox 360 core system will be removed from the stock. But don’t you worry people this is not a sign of discontinuing the Xbox360 core system by Microsoft. The Xbox 360 Core remains an important member of the Xbox 360 family and hence it won’t be discontinued.
The XBox 360 core system price will be reduced by 20$, hope it comes down to 200$ very soon as Microsoft feels that 200$ is a sweet spot for the core version.
KEY combo mouse and keypad might be just the thing you’ve been looking for. Just to make sure you would ask where will i use it. Well i suppose if you are a number cruncher or suddenly your boss phone’s you in a long list of numbers and your laptop doesn’t have a keypad, EzKEY saves the day!. besides this flip it down and it works just like a ordinary mouse. Anyways a product thought pretty wisely but the mouse and keypads could be more ergonomic. EzKEY hasn’t said about its pricing but we know that it will come in two colors i.e black and white.
