What Nokia did was ugly. In my particular case, I did the update OTA but never got a SMS and was not auto-registered, though I can't explain why not. Supposedly, I should've been and that ticks me off. Even so, what Nokia did with the PR 1.2 upgrade was nothing compared to what Google does. And things are really bad for some people - for example:

So, while any fantasies we may have had of Nokia being a totally benevolent corporate entity are now forever tarnished, the PR 1.2 auto-registration scandal is small potaotes, relatively speaking.

But I'm still pissed...
