Nokia has recently issued a warning, saying that in rare cases their BP-6M batteries used in such popular models as the N73, N77 and N93 could potentially balloon to several times of their original size.
The Finnish giant isn’t saying how common the problem is, only that it affects a “limited number of batteries” and that the swelling presents “no risk to health of safety.” That’s a totally different story than their earlier problem with BL-5C batteries, which tended to over-heat in some cases. Still, it’s worth checking whether your battery (if it’s BP-6M), retained the original size. If it looks large, that actually may be the case, so you better take it to the nearest Nokia Service Center to take care of it…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
