Nokia confirms US phone problem

Nokia is investigating reports of problems with its touchscreen 5800 phone in the US, just days after the mobile was launched. The device has been removed from sale at two flagship stores in the US. The problem is with connections to US 3G networks, BBC News has learned. A spokeswoman for Nokia told BBC News: "A small number of devices are not connecting with 3G networks and we are looking through that right now." She said the phone continued to be sold in "certain network areas". At the New York and Chicago flagship stores only the European version of the Nokia 5800 is on sale. Sales agents at the New York store are telling customers the phone has a "little issue" and they are "not being sold at all while the problems are looked into".
