Nokia Lumia 800 ads Violated UK Sponsorship Regulations

Honestly I read the source article five times but I couldn’t understand what the actual violation of rules was; but regardless a series of Nokia Lumia promoting ads that ran on Channel 5 last October were recently ruled as being in violation of UK television sponsorship rules; as far as I understood the violation was possibly related to the fact that the advertisement ran during program content warnings?? (I could be way off). As of now, neither Nokia nor Channel 5 are being fined for the violation and since the ads have already been discontinued nothing serious will result from this.

Thanks to Kaizer Allen  for the tip.
