Technically yes you would be correct but I am stuck with handset I can neither sell nor use, having paid for it.

Morally too it's hazy; it may be the property of Nokia but I know exactly what happens to prototype devices - they end up in engineer's drawers. My friend has cupboards full of old Symbian and Windows Phone handsets (well not so many WP but he is working on WP8 now so I'm sure he has a few Lumias, he was showing me the Lumia 800 that he was testing last August).

Trust me, there isn't much to gain from me handing it back, so I may as well try and get it working again.
