Nokia sends mobile spam, breaks own cellphones

It sounds like spam to us, but someone at Nokia must have thought this was brilliant marketing: send a picture SMS message to customers inviting them to check out the Club Nokia Nokia lounge at the massive CeBIT tech trade happening later this month in Germany. Unfortunately, the messages also disable the phones of anyone with a Nokia 3510i, 5100, or 6100, breaking them so badly that the phones have to be brought into a Nokia service center (and left there for a day) in order to be fixed.
