I've heard from a reliable source inside 'Everything Everywhere' (Orange & T-Mobile) that they have STOPPED SHIPPING the Lumia 800 to stores until Nokia fix the battery problem.
Furthermore, the repair department at Everything Everywhere are automatically 'failing' all Lumia 800's that come to them with a reported battery /charger issue. They aren't testing or checking them - they just mark them as failed, and send them back to Nokia.
The same source has told me a maintenance update is scheduled for release on 1st December, but has no details about what the update will do.
Clearly there is a serious problem here, serious enough that EE have stopped shipping the Lumia 800 to their stores.
At least this means that it's not just a group of vocal users that Nokia has to deal with, but a major Network operator who must also clearly be dissapointed with this.
We will have to wait and see what the update brings, but the pressure is now on Nokia to address the battery concerns, and fast!
