T-Mobile bins Nokia 7210

Because it doesn't work like it ought to...

16th December 2002

Mobile phone operator T-Mobile has had to pull the Nokia 7210 from the shops in the UK after discovering a number of interoperability problems with the colour-screen handset.

The 7210, which was one of the products Nokia had been promoting heavily ahead of the Christmas sales rush has now been removed from 150 T-Mobile shops around the country.

Nokia's reputation has taken a battering this year, and this is not the first well-publicised incident of a retailer being forced to remove a Nokia phone from its shelves.

Earlier this year the number of customers returning faulty Nokia phones became so great that UK mobile phone retailer Carphone Warehouse was forced to stop selling the company's 8210 and 8260 altogether.

Similarly, Nokia's 3310, 3330 and 8850 models were branded to be unreliable in April this year following an investigation by German newspaper Handelsblatt.

A separate investigation in Finland revealed that a quarter of all Nokia phones are shipped with faults.


According to a Reuters report T-Mobile hopes to be able to start offering the 7210 again in the new year.
