Nokia’s Mural only landed on AT&T last week, and already its been pulled from shelves. The problem, according to a leaked internal memo, is that Nokia “inadvertently turned off” its 3G support during production, meaning that all of the devices – including those sold – now need to be reflashed with new firmware.

Nokia telling carriers “hands off” N900; Maemo staying unbranded
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 10th 2009 2 CommentsNokia has revealed that it will not be customizing its N900 Maemo 5 smartphone to suit carriers, claiming part of Linux’s strength in the mobile market is offering customers a “compelling value proposition”.
