Carphone Warehouse Launches Coverage Guaranteeby Ibrahim Jogee | Industry, News, Press, ServicesCarphone Warehouse has launched a Coverage Guarantee service whereby if the new phone or dongle you purchase does not offer adequate amounts of network coverage, they will either exchange the product with a network more suitable for your area or offer a full refund. This policy is the first of its kind and has been created as a result of pure consumer demand. Hit the jump to read on. Nokia has decided to finally call it quits with its unsuccessful Ovi Files service. Ovi Files was created to allow users to remotely access photos, music and documents that were stored on their home computer. It also allowed you to browse, search and view photos, automatically resized for your mobile phone. Through the acquisition of Avvenu Incorporated in December 2007, Nokia originally aimed to release Ovi Files as a premium service. However due to poor uptake, in July 2007 Nokia decided to allow users to take advantage of this service free of charge. It appears as though the service is still underused, and so Nokia will officially discontinue the service as of 1 October 2010. Check out the email confirmation of this news after the break. The Nokia N8 is set to be exclusively available for UK customers on 23 September 2010. This is a full week earlier than the official release date. Apparently Nokia has been buying Ad Word space which leaked the story during a Nokia N8 Google search. The Nokia N8 will be in stock and available for dispatch via the Nokia UK website, so stay tuned to see the latest Nokia device pop up on pre-order anytime now.
The Nokia E72 has just received a new firmware updated taking it up to v51.018.
