Nokia take legal action against Eldar Murtazin
 

Nokia Conversations.

I must say he's had it coming - a particularly poor and bitter/twisted blogger, I guess Nokia have had just about all they can take from the guy who seems to have a knack of acquiring unreleased and unfinished product (Nokia might want to look at their security precautions).

Agreed - I love a preview as much as the next guy - but this bloke seems to delight in getting prototype devices and reviewing them as if they are finished pieces. A perfect example is the N900 which 90% of the issues he found had been resolved in the final product.

I find it odd that people can form such a strong opinion about this based on some tweets/blogposts/previews/reviews..

Maybe it's just me.

I'd be pissed as well if i was Nokia, he gets stolen prototypes 6 months before release revealing stuff about them while at same time doing consultancy work for Nokia rivals(i.e samsung), the amount of damage this could of potentially done is massive as rivals are getting at least a 6 month head start to counter whatever Nokia are planning

Re: Nokia take legal action against Eldar Murtazin
 

I agree with your points, but he has someone giving him the devices. It's the inside man that you want.

Re: Nokia take legal action against Eldar Murtazin
 

Which is why they're after him, I suppose. Get the names, drop the suit.

Re: Nokia take legal action against Eldar Murtazin
 

he is not forced to accept the stolen property and reveal to people he as them, he does it for self gain otherwise he would keep it all secret

Re: Nokia take legal action against Eldar Murtazin
 

Maybe he obtained some kind of agreement similar to Nokia's "invitation" to register a MyNokia account in the PR1.2 update.

From the blog, it sounds like Nokia just wants its phone back, which in turn, they could use to discover the inside source. It doesn't sound like they're going after Eldar or his blog, though as a consequence of returning the phone, Eldar would lose his inside source, which may then diminish the value of his blog. Either way, it's fair for Nokia to want its property back.
