Yes, and I also pointed out that as they didn't show the T's and C's when I first turned on the phone, and could reasonably have returned it for a refund, it was unlikely to be valid now. I asked if I could return my phone for a refund if I didn't like the PR1.2 conditions -- I got no reply.

I also mentioned that it seemed likely to me that a court might require a rather more active opt-in before agreeing that I had authorised Nokia to physically damage my device so I cannot return it to the previous software version (PR1.1) and not accept the new conditions.
