Sydney, Australia – 31 March 2011.   Nokia will be extending its Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty (MLW) from 12 months to 24 months on Nokia devices, including its latest smartphones purchased on or after the 31^st March 2011[1].

Nokia’s new 24-month MLW provides customers with assurance that they will not be charged for the cost of repairing a faulty Nokia device for 24 months from the date of purchase. 

Nokia’s managing director, Chris Carr, said, “We’re raising the standards in our handset service by offering a level of protection beyond the 12-month norm.

“It’s of benefit to our consumers and reinforces the confidence we have in the quality of our products,” he said.
