We have a little pile of 3 770s to send back, 1 is on its way back to us,
1 has been replaced. For some bizarre reason they insist on picking
each one up separately, meanwhile we are doing advanced replacement for
our customers so kind of expensive for us to have broken stock sitting
around.<br><br>

I don't find that to be very tragic. I bought devices before, which
turned out to be broken. But they usually were replaced immediately. My
N800 however is now in repair service for 5 weeks! They are "waiting
for parts" and have no idea how much longer it will take. This I
find to be unacceptable and a strong reason not to buy a product from
nokia again. <br><br>
What did you do with your broken units?<br><br>

<dd>We have tested a seven more devices since my last email that have
been at a site for 3 months (including flashing them to latest version,
enabling host mode and flashing a custom kernel), all worked fine and we
have one more failure at another site (version 2, no host mode or custom
kernel).<br><br>
<dd>Of the failures 4 are the classic screen failure reported by many and
1 was dead out of the box (continuous reboot).<br><br>
<dd>We only have one 800 which is still working fine.<br><br>
<dd>I have started logging serial numbers to see if there is a higher
incident of failure with certain ones. 3 of the failures have nearly
identical serial numbers (last digit is different), two with similar
numbers last number different are still operational. The other two
failed units I don't have the serial numbers of. Leading me to the
suspicion that batches of 770s may be faulty - assuming 770s in the same
batch have very close serial numbers of course not enough data to be
conclusive.<br><br>
<dd>I would give out the serial numbers of the ones that have failed but
Nokia are using the serial numbers as a sort of password to their
firmware so I guess they would prefer me not to. However if anyone
wants to send me their failed unit serial numbers I can see if there is
any correlation with serial numbers we have had fail.<br><br>
