Chinese Servant Gets Ten Years In Jail Stealing Overpriced Nokia Vertu Handset
Here's a sad, and slightly ridiculous, coda to the story of Vertu, Nokia's wrong turn into making bling-tastic handsets encrusted with diamonds and gold: a servant in China convicted of stealing one from her boss has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 20,000 yuan (over $3,000).The story, as published in the English edition of the Chinese People's Daily Online, notes that Ms Zhang Yun's defense was that she had not realized the value of the phone when she took it, and did so in the first place because she had not been paid. The incident took place in Henan Province.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Z37js7v823g/
