Held normally from a standing or sitting position, the sag is not noticeable.

I am considering replacing the slide with a unit I was pointed to online. Its not critically bad (it still locks in place, but one side tends to "droop" a little...), which is why I haven't pulled the trigger on the change.

Was it like that when you first bought it?

You can also lock the device by a shell script:

Code:

/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked"
And add this command in 'personal menu' so I can lock my device by just a single click.
Only *un*lock requires the slider (unless connected via ssh from my laptop where I can start the unlock command).

I think the quality between the n810 and the n810w had a drop off in quality, my n810w has not held up the slider, slides akwardly and usually lands a bit sideways after sliding close. The keyboard has the same scratches mentioned here.

WTF? Wrong thread?
