This is NOT the case. If you want to be sure, please call Nokia.
Here is the important string of messages you missed in the other
thread. It's partly
my fault you missed his response as Ifailed to reply all, sending once
to the list and once to Ero. His response was to me, not the list, so
only showed up as a quote in my next reply to the list.
Also note the discussion was about heavy modification such as
/deleting important system files/, not simply installing extras, and
the result below is that you mght not get technical /support/ unless
you reflash to factory, but your warranty is still good. Again, call
Nokia if you are not satisfied and report back.

Thanks, that sounds right. :-)
Sorry about giving a scare, English (lawyerese) is not my native tongue.
What's the correct term that I should have used instead of "void" for
the kind of a warranty limitation I was thinking about below?
