Nokia phones have always been pretty reliable from a hardware point of view, but the Finnish company has decided to put its money where its mouth is by extending the Manufacturers Limited Warranty from 12 months to 24 months on any Nokia handset purchased from today. Unless you buy your handset from Vodafone that is.
Nokia point out that although customers who purchase their Nokia through Vodafone only get a 12 month MLW, Voda themselves offer a 24 month repair warranty on Nokia phones, so it’s not like you’re missing out on anything.
Does anybody consider the warranty when they purchase a phone these days?

Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 6:22 PMThey never post praise to Vodafone, the last article like this was that Vodafone were bribing people to get Nokia’s, but upon reading the article it’s clear that Nokia are offering free apps to Vodafone customers.
It’s just like you won’t find overtly anti apple ranting much here either.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 9:19 AMAs much as I don’t like Vodafone myself, I see this as yet another heavily biased article on Gizmodo that uses a misleading title to sway the opinion of readers.
Not everyone hates Nokia, Vodafone or Microsoft, seemingly the favourite whipping-boys of Gizmodo.
