6 years, I have not changed the battery for my mobile. I think it is the latest consignment which has the problem and the company has decided to call back all those batteries and offered free replacement.

Good that you don't have the problem with the battery. I came to know that there are many who are affected. so please keep informing all till all the faulty batteries are replaced. Still many are not aware of it. Take care.

Yes I am very fortunate that my nokia phone does not bear that model of battery. I just recently bought a new phone from Nokia and so far the model which I brought doesn't use the battery model that is said to explode. Thanks goodness! My father's phoen unfortunately was one of those that has that kindof battery. he submitted the serial number to Nokia website and they promised to deliver the replacement via a courier to the address he declared in the website. I hope they could have it delviered the soonest possible time. But I doubt if they could really deliver it since I do expect a deluge of submission of battery asking for a replacement.
