I just came across an advisory notice from Nokia for their BL-5C cell batteries. Possible risk of overheating. Web site has full description of the batteries, numbers and photos. Worth checking especially if you have an older model 1600 or 2610.

Thanks for the info. I've added this to the "news" box at the top of the site.

Will this issue pertain to the newest 1600 phones, ie. if I buy one today?

Unlikely. I bought a couple of 1600s a year ago. Neither battery was affected by the recall. The recall is now several years old. I imagine they've fixed the problem at manufacturing by now ;)

Just found out I've been using faulty battery for nearly three years. Nokia advised going to local shop for exchange. Five shops in my area and nobody was interested. Carphone said I could by one. I reckon after three years I'm pretty safe and thinking of upgrading anyway.

Call Nokia's customer service line (their Canadian website should have a 1-800 number) and ask for a specific store in your area that would exchange the battery.

At the very least, do the exchange after your upgrade so you can sell your phone with a new battery.

That's a UK website. Are you located in Canada or across the pond?
