I see size still matters? I wonder why.
No point in keeping stores as a content infrastructure provider.

True. But it is sad to see the face of nokia go. The Regent street store was a perfect location where you could just walk in, see all their handsets, play with them and talk about upcoming devices etc.
They have also hosted events/drinks etc as they did with the release of Maemo/N900. It gave the fans a chance to gather in one place and discuss various issues. Sure other outlets such as carphonewarehouse etc also display the latest handsets but there is no other place where you could see the 3G Netbook, N900 and their low end devices. All fully functional and not dummies.

The entrance was on the main road pretty much opposite the Apple store.

I've just posted a reply with how I fixed my phone if you're interested.

Good good, i was at the right place.

Thanks very much for your guide lscpike, i wasnt expecting that kind of detail - i will have a think on the train home as to whether or not i should just do this myself.

Thanks again for a cracking guide!

Great comment under that article:
"I guess they got tired of people asking if they sold iPhones?"
