Hi. I really don't think this device was remotely wiped... What happened is what might generally happen to a prototype device... the camera messed up all the configuration when he pressed the button, the "wipe" didnt quite happen in the middle of the demonstration. Why would anybody think this was a wipe? If on/off problems persist in fully functional phones when you press the camera button, I wouldnt expect any more from this prototype... Well, all this IMHO...

@falizadeh sounds like you might know a thing or two about Nokia's prototype handsets! maybe someone from the team at Techno Buffalo should give you a call and ask you what went wrong with the phone you've never had! yeah, i'm sure they really troubleshooted it down until they were absolutely sure that the system was wiped man and i'm sure they would also be aware if there was frequent power failures in prototypes by pressing the camera button and made a more appropriate response if that were the case. xD

hello everyone. I do think the phone showed was shut off, because it has not been put into the cell phone market. It was shut down, because they did not want the cell phone picked apart by those that have jobs dealing with phones.If the cell phone users pick it apart before it hits the market, no one person will buy it.

do you guys see what you're saying? you all sound like my mom, "well it probably died" kk, so you're telling me the whole team at Techno Buffalo didn't have the mental capacity to fucking figure out "oh maybe the battery just ran dry" and tried to connect a fucking charger to the damn thing to see if it'll power back? i mean really? yuh, even my mom would have done that first thing guys. you all just go straight to the defensive when i point something out to someone that you don't read what i'm telling you. do you think any kind of established, organized cell phone review team would post a video saying "oh look the phone was wiped!" without troubleshooting any other known way to get the device to power up? i think not.

that's right wade, cause the iphone4 was disected after being found in a bar before it's release, and Apple can't sell that signal-losing yellow-screened pos to save their lives....

You mean Techno Buffalo doesn't know how to recharge a phone?

at 5:46 (pause the video and set it the video on full screen) and take a look at the battery icon .. wow .. it's empty :)

Its obvious the device was not remotely wiped. It just shut off. It does in fact act as if the battery died. I'm an IT guy and I have remtely wipes alot of devices and it doesn't happen this quick and thats on pc's. Now you have to wipe a device on a 3g network c'mon! Think guys. Pllus who knows maybe a remote message might have come up with information as to the correct steps on how to return the device.

Battery meter was showing 4 bars left. But this is a prototype so who knows how accurate that is. If this was in fact remotely wiped, that's hilarious, and they get what they deserve for being idiots. Record all your videos and take all your pictures BEFORE posting that shit on the web so if Nokia does get angry at the guy who didn't give a shit about passing around a phone that wasn't his, at least you got all the footage you wanted to get.
