I suspect Nokia are pretty sure who their "leak" is, imo the idea here is to make other journalists/bloggers think twice about writing damning reports on their hardware in future.

I can only imagine Eldar isn't stupid enough to have this prototype sitting around in his bedroom waiting to be searched, it would have been either returned long ago or lobbed into the river. So it makes me wonder how they think they can prosecute him. I don't know Russian law, but if he isnt found with the handset then surely it's a flimsy case. Which makes me think, does Nokia already have the handset and can confirm Eldar's prints (electronic or otherwise) on it, or have they tracked it's use remotely perhaps over the wireless connection on the handset? If not, then the whole exercise is just a scaring tactic.

If nothing else, it's interesting to see what will come of it
