Your carrier is responsible for it, not Nokia. They sold the Nokia, with an attached 24 month contract. Therefore it must carry a 24 month warranty. Your carrier can take it up with Nokia if they want, but you dont have too. You take it up with the carrier.

Just ring the TIO and see what they have to say. Its worth a phone call.
This is news to me. Thanks for the info. I was wondering why Voda / 3 were all of a sudden offering a 2 year warranty on all phones on 2 year plans.
