Details are still a bit fuzzy on this one, but reports out of Sweden say that a 35-year-old map swiped a batch of prototype phones from Sony Ericsson's Lund offices on Monday or Tuesday and was then promptly arrested on Wednesday after police discovered the prototypes, along with a hundred other phones, at his home. According to Sony Ericsson, the man was not an employee but had a "working relationship" with the company, and apparently used a pass card to gain entry to the building. Police also found a laptop with some unspecified contents at the man's home, and say that the total value of the theft was about 750,000 kronor, or roughly $90,000.

erm 35 year old map?
You can't trust those old maps. They realize they are out of date and have to do what they can to survive.
Those maps are just a bunch of trouble makers I tells ya!
Apparently it gave seceral security staff severe paper cuts.
He must like paperweights... That's what SE's a good for.
-M.
Try their Japan-market models and you'll be singing a different tune. Then again, it's always been like that- they keep the best stuff for themselves.
I was going to put them back. I swear!
