Thanks Nokia! They finally sent a battery replacement to my Nokia 2600. Its very good for me as my phone is no longer charging properly. The request took about 3 weeks and they sent the batteries from their Hong Kong office.
Here is the message from Nokia website advising users to have their batteries replaced
This is a product advisory for the Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006. This product advisory does not apply to any other Nokia battery.
Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge. Nokia is working closely with relevant local authorities to investigate this situation.
Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries that have collectively produced more than 300 million BL-5C batteries. This advisory applies only to the 46 million batteries manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. There have been approximately 100 incidents of over heating reported globally. No serious injuries or property damage have been reported.
Consumers with a BL-5C battery subject to this advisory should note that all of the approximately 100 incidents have occurred while charging the battery. According to Nokia’s knowledge this issue does not affect any other use of the mobile device. Concerned consumers may want to monitor a mobile device while charging that contains a BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.
Please note that only batteries from made from Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006 can be replaced.

UPDATE: I was mailed back by Nokia to return the old battery by calling DHL and they will send it for free.
