Nokia cracking down on counterfeiters

Seems like Nokia isn't down with Keepin' it real fake, so they're cracking down counterfeiters and those selling fake Nokia cellphones and accessories. According to Nokia, counterfeiting has been on the rise, with thousands of handsets recently confiscated in Finland alone. The step-up in enforcement comes just as Nokia has been awarded $1.36 million in damages by a Florida court in a lawsuit against Suplimet Corp. and Hermann Lozano for trafficking in counterfeit Nokia products. Hermann and his brother Xavier were also sentanced to 72 months in jail. Let that be a lesson to you, fake-phone-makers of the world, Nokia comintagetcha.
