Nokia has already promised an update that corrects this, and Plaffo.com has managed to wheedle an exact date from Italian carrier support staff.
Apparently 3 Italy has received a memo which reads:
Subject: WARNING: Problem Nokia Battery Lumia 800 for the only colors Cyan and Magenta.
Nokia has revealed a limited duration of the battery to the software problem Lumia 800
only for the Cyan and Magenta.
As of January 18 there will be a sw update that will also apply directly to the end customer.Meanwhile, if the customer insists on the immediate solution of the problem
proceed as follows: Open a SAT warranty notes indicating "Battery Problem"
The terminal will be replaced with a new terminal
So an update is coming in around 3-4 weeks, and replacements will be given for those who cant wait that long.
You can check your battery capacity by typing # # 634 # and selecting "Battery Statusâ€. If it reads 979 mAh or similar then you will be needing the update.
