Nokia offers Lumia phone to user who posted burnt Samsung Galaxy S4 video

In a recently reported incident of a Galaxy S4 catching fire, Samsung had allegedly asked the user to remove the video showing the incident, before it would provide a replacement device. It now seems the user will get a new phone even if he doesn't remove the video, but not from Samsung.
Apparently Nokia USA has offered a Lumia to Richard Wygand (@ghostlyrich), who had recently uploaded a video of his Samsung Galaxy S4 catching fire. Ghostlyrich's video on YouTube showed a Samsung Galaxy S4 catching fire while charging with what the user claimed to be an original Samsung charger. While the phone did not explode, its charging port was supposedly burnt out.
The Galaxy S4 user claimed his phone was under warranty, but when he initiated the process to have the device replaced, Samsung customer care reportedly sent a reply that it would provide a replacement only if the user removed the video from YouTube. In response, the user uploaded a video about the letter he'd supposedly received from Samsung.
Since the matter was reported widely, Nokia USA interestingly tweeted the user with an offer.
In its tweet, Nokia USA said, "@ghostlyrich we want to help you out. Let me send you a Nokia Lumia so you can experience how customer service should 'really' work."
The move by Nokia refreshes our memory to a similar incident back in 2011, when a Microsoft evangelist had offered free Windows Phones to five users who reported the best story about malware problems they were experiencing on their Android smartphones.
So far, Samsung has kept silent about Nokia's offer, just like it had refused to confirm what it had reported initially asked the Galaxy S4 user to do.

Delhi High Court asks tax department to assess value of Nokia's Chennai plant

A court extended a hearing over local tax authorities' seizure of a Nokia factory by seeking information on the plant value, adding to concerns whether the company can transfer the property to Microsoft as part of the sale of its mobile phone business.
Nokia has offered to pay a 270 million euro deposit to authorities to unfreeze assets in a tax dispute, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The Finnish firm has been trying to free up the assets, particularly its Chennai factory which is one of its biggest phone-making plants, ahead of the sale of its mobile phone business to Microsoft.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the tax authorities to submit the value of the Chennai factory on Wednesday, when it is due to hear the case again, amid growing uncertainty about Nokia's exact tax liabilities in India.
A lawyer for the tax department said on Tuesday Nokia owed 78 billion rupees in tax payments.

The Times of India reported on Tuesday the tax department had informed the Delhi High Court that Nokia owned the authorities more than 210 billion rupees, which included penalty for a seven-year period beginning 2006.
The final sum of tax liabilities are not yet known. But in March, it was served with a tax demand of about 20.8 billion rupees for five fiscal years starting from 2006/07, according to a March 22 notice on the Delhi High Court website.
Nokia said it had not been served with any claim beyond that 20.8 billion rupee amount.
"In recent months we have seen and read about many claims from the tax authorities," the company said in a statement on Tuesday. "We feel they are without merit and will defend ourselves vigorously in court."
While Nokia has said it does not expect the dispute to affect its 5.4 billion euro deal with Microsoft, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, a lengthy asset freeze could complicate matters by preventing the transfer of ownership in the Chennai plant.
Nokia has said it wanted the assets to be released by December 12.
