I haven't subscibed my nokia. When I clicked unsubscibe I got a SMS from Nokia that the unsubscription did't work. Kinda strange.

Regardless of whether a notification does/doesn't appear, it's still not very clear that Nokia are doing this.
I'm sorry, but stuff like this should be in big red letters. Not burried within T&Cs.
Upon first use of your device and after you have updated the Nokia device software an activation text message will be sent to Nokia.
To provide you with the services described above your mobile number, device serial number and mobile subscription identifiers will be sent to Nokia upon first use of the device.

This thread suggests that they are "breaching" some privacy agreement. The true argument is that their Terms should be clearer with what data they use and when they take it.
Moreover, your details are already held with your mobile provider, I'm sure a massive corporation such as Nokia has adequate policies and safeguards and would not sell on your data and risk bad publicity.

i think they've just 'done' every one during the excitement of updating!
i know i just hit yes yes yes to skip it all quickly, i always do, maybe were all gonna get a 250euro bill for the update fee!

I'm not saying that Nokia have broken any laws, but they have certainly broken my trust.

Wouldn't be suprised if it re-activates after the pr-1.2 update to confirm how many devices are switching over,
either way i had this when i purchased the device, and its here again now, i dont really care.
Some of you may feel unsafe, but to be fair, they can't really get much from a freshly flashed
(Well in my case anyway.)
