My N800 failed after 4 weeks only. Before that I had all kinds of problems including random reboots, infinite rebooting after the nokia screen and crashes. And finally the unit died.<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>Sebi<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/13/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Simon Moore</b> <<a href="mailto:simon.moore@ndirect.co.uk">simon.moore@ndirect.co.uk

<b>Current failure rate within the first three months of purchase is
17.2% (sample size 29, 5 failed)<br><br>
</b>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>
Of the failures 4 are the classic screen failure reported by many and 1
was dead out of the box (continuous reboot).<br><br>
We only have one 800 which is still working fine.<br><br>
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>
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>
