Nokia accuses Eldar Murtazin of revealing trade secrets, approaches Russian Interior Ministry

UPDATE: Nokia clarifies that they want their handsets back and does not want to shutdown site’s server. Here’s a Google Cache copy of the statement.

If you follow mobile industry you’d be aware of the fact that Eldar Murtazin, owner of Mobile-review.com thrashed Nokia’s N8 one day before its official announcement. Now Eldar has posted an entry on its personal blog claiming that Nokia had approached the Russian government authorities by accusing Eldar of leaking Nokia trade secrets.

Now both the parties have a different story to tell. Eldar says Nokia wants to disconnect Mobile-review servers and does not bother to respond to his queries. However, Nokia says Eldar didn’t communicate despite many attempts and are now seeking help from Russian authorities to take back “unauthorized Nokia’s property.”
