What law? Can you please cite the statute or common law precedence?

I thought about a class action over the cost of a text times the number of phones, but even then, the average marginal cost is low since most people have an unlimited plan, so call it $0.05. Times maybe 500k phones that updated and damages to the class are $25,000 - not worth a lawfirm's time.

Regarding the privacy violations, I haven't checked, but I'm betting that nokia's privacy policy states that they may collect a large swath of information. Even if it doesn't, intangible damages like loss of privacy of a number are very hard to monetize, so again, I don't think anyone is going to go after nokia, legally.

I agree with the sentiment that this is the wrong ply on Nokia's part, but i think that it really just comes down to is this enough to make your next smartphone purchase not be nokia?
