Breaking down doors counts as quite a bit more than ’some effort’ in most places. Considering how popular gadget-blogging is, Eldar should be installing a swing door in that case, I guess.

If I remember right, and it's held true, around 40 or so. Some of those 98 prototypes could have been duplicates. I typically received prototypes in batches of 10.

They had a warrant to search the house, and if he was home I guess he could've opened the door for the cops
Oh, Eldar never publicized how he acquired his leaks either... unlike Gizmodo whom have publicly confessed of how much they've paid to acquire the illegally obtained item.

And what were the penalties under the contract you're bound to if those prototypes were to be misused/gone missing like this guy's case?

come on if this guy can manage to just take nearly 100 phones, more than half of them prototypes, then maybe nokia just arent putting enough effort into keeping track of them. i bet it was trying to lift the projector out the office in a mildly suspicious manner that got him busted in the end!

I wonder if the Nokia 7700 was one of them. I sorta liked that one.

Why don't you leave California and come over here to Texas, where law enforcement is much more civilized. I don't think that Walker, Texas Ranger, would have stopped at just kicking one door in. (Yes...I did manage to pull Chuck Norris into this thread.)
