Cuban Wallpaper Crisis threatens Nokia handsets, America
Personally, we’re always excited to get free multimedia packs loaded on our phones — wallpapers and ringtones don’t come cheap, after all. We draw the line at multimedia packs of Cold War-era dictators, though, which is why Nokia’s pretty fired up that some of its sets are being sold at retail in Russia preloaded with exciting Stalin-themed memorabilia. Apparently — and we believe them — Nokia has nothing to do with the unexpected bonus, saying that “even if Nokia was on the brink of ruin and release phones or panel with a portrait of Stalin was the only chance to save our business, Nokia [would not do] that.” Admittedly, we’re pretty curious to learn more about the doomsday scenario they’re referring to where companies can only survive by Stalin-branding their products — but for now, Nokia’s recommending comrades shoppers steer clear of the “special edition” devices since they’re clearly not factory sealed.
