To make things worse the 3 years seem to be counted from the release of the phone, not from when you buy it. So if you buy it a year after it came out, you get only 2 years.

I am so sick of the whole smartphone crap. Google monopoly (well, there is Apple, but it's worse), unhandy sizes, electronic waste years too early.

That's not exclusive to this Nokia; all manufacturers do the "from release" vs "from purchase" thing. This is one area I really wish more manufacturers would follow Apple's lead on.
