Nokia updates and Spotify warnings

Looks like Nokia users are back on track — the company has moved with lightning speed to correct problems with the 3G connection on its 5800 NAM handsets. In a statement, Nokia reps said the company has determined that the issue stemmed from an “isolated situation related to a configuration change in the North American variant” that has since been adjusted. Nokia expects to be able to resume sales of the 5800 shortly; the 5800 also has some initial problems with the speakers that have been resolved as well. Nokia has apologized for the inconvenience, and customers who are still experiencing difficulties should contact Nokia Customer Care.

While Nokia users are breathing a sigh of relief, Spotify users should be on high alert: The Swedish music service was recently hacked. The hackers have reportedly gained access to details of Spotify’s user accounts, including log-in info, passwords, e-mail addresses, birthdates, postal codes, and billing receipts. The company has encouraged users to change their passwords immediately. Credit card numbers used are not at risk; the company has assured users that credit card information is safely handled by a third party.
