Ericsson has denied media reports that it has begun the recall of a line of GPRS phones which showed performance problems late last year.

According to Mobil, a Swedish consumer magazine,
the T65 handset was recalled by Ericsson and joint venture partner Sony, because of software problems.

"This information is incorrect and there is no recall," Ericsson spokeswoman Nina Eldh told us. "Some of the T65 phones shipped before Christmas had a humming sound and we advised people to take them back to their retailers to change.

"Not very many phones were affected and now all the phones are fixed and there is no problem." ®
