Nokia phones tell you to unplug

Link: Nokia phones tell you to unplug

Courtesy of IT news site The Inquirer, comes this rather curious story from Nokia.

Nokia has issued a press release saying its latest 1200, 1208 and 1650 handsets are the first to come with alerts that tell you to unplug the charger. Gilding the lily, it adds that the move ‘could”, good word in PR that, ‘save enough electricity to power 85,000 homes a year”.

Of course, you could argue that a ‘battery full” message tells you pretty well all you need to know unless you’re a total knucklehead and numptie, but some of us need a nag to go that extra yard and stop sucking socket juice.

A slow day in the PR department at Nokia Towers, perhaps?
