Re: Worried about N900 back cover
 

The back cover is the only thing I hate about the N900. The nice metal plate of the earlier tablets was ...classy.
This is just ugly plastic...

Yeah, it's nice and solid. Also needs a bit more force to remove than the similar solution in N97. It will probably get a bit loose over the years, though. That just might go under warranty, though. Still, meh not likes.

It's not just Nokia that uses this type of battery cover, my htc hero has one as well... I cringe every time I take it off... it bends!! :(

If anyone knows anything about a metall backplate (MAGNETIC!) for the N900 please write here. :-)

Sounds like a business model is popping up for craves1... :)

Re: Worried about N900 back cover
 

I've seen n97's back covers go loose.

But to be honest I felt the n900 cover felt too secure -- straight out of the box -- and actually went back to the community room to check I hadn't missed something in the French manual I was reading...with not actually speaking French and all.

Right, my concern as well. I keep waiting for a stubborn tab to break...
