Just checked my recent bill with WindMobile (Canada). As much as I hoped that my phone did not have a problem with this notorious SMS, it was there... - two SMS messages sent to 491771787772 number, with the total cost of $0.30.

As many of you, I did not subscribe or legally obliged to subscribe for any hidden services. The latest reply from Nokia suggests that automatic (and often costly) message sending was not a mere bug but rather an intentional coding. Nokia, therefore did officially take full responsibility for such reckless and perhaps illegal action.
Although the community can find their own methods to prevent this messages to be sent, such as by notmynokia scripts by Graham Cobb's, it is still responsibility of Nokia to

1) Apologize
2) Reimburse
3) Quickly provide an official patch / remove the culprit "cherry" code

As I do not have any desire to pay for such messages in the future, and it does not seem that Nokia's managers realize all damaging consequences of their actions, for the moment I am planning to notify the Best Business Bureau of this case, also referencing this forum. I suggest that all other N900 users in North America do the same. The more complaints BBB will receive, the more pressure will be on Nokia, the sooner they realize that the class action lawsuit may not be that far.
