well thats the answer then,
you did not download anything from the extras. you have to manually open that on the download. you check the extras. those are the beta apps that is there for the development purposes to let others check the app. you might have accidentally clicked it. you sure that those are the only apps you had downloaded?

Na, and besides, it was doing a random shut down like I said before I even setup anything. I was just showing my friends the unit last week and it would recycle back to the Nokia screen like it rebooted or something. So from day one NOTHING installed it was messing up for sure. But it took 3-4 days to evolve into a brick :D

Re: Am I the first to get a BRICK??

congratulation on buying one of the millionth unit.
by the way good that you got the replacement easily,

It wasn't constant but happened a few times during each maybe 15-20 min session of playing with it. Well then last night I finally got time to add contacts and emails, and setup FB and other things and then I hooked the unit up to my Windows Vista computer and it kept going thru the DOTS loading mode on the screen (the screen that comes up after Nokia logo) well 30mins later it still was going and the thing would not show up on the pc and would not shut off. SO i took the battery out, then put it back in after I disconnected it from PC. Well then it got stuck on a DOT on the loading screen and never loaded up after that, many battery in and outs later i Gacve up and left it on the charger all night. Well woke up this morning and it was a brick, it would not even turn on, light up, do anything at all. I called tech support and the guy told me I was the first call they got about N900 problems, he said congradulations out of under maybe a possible 2000 people that had the phone I won the first brick. LOL. Well I called the NYC store and told them the tech said to get a replacement thhru them, but they were out and said it would be days before one arrives :eek: so they took my name and number. Luckily a few hours later a female called back from the store and said someone canceled their order and I could come get that one :D . SO I got a new one again, and I hope I have no problems. When it was working, I was so happy with the unit, it was a shame I got to be #1 owner with a dead one.

Would have been nice if you used paragraphs...I'm getting a headache reading it...

Every factory has a nonzero defect rate, Asian or no.

I had a Made in Finland Nokia 8260. The screws that held it together literally fell out one day after a year or so. I'm not going around saying the Finns make bad product. Stuff happens. (Somebody probably forgot to loc-tite the threads)

Don't worry, I had "class A" products from Germany, USA, Switzerland, Canada, Japan break down for no apparent reason. Sometime firmware, sometimes bad components.
If you make enough of the same thing, your bound to have some failing products. It's fact of life.

Probably some indian factory. There's always the indian solution: After it fell down while manufacturing, just get a new sleeve and try to hide your mistake.
Thumbs up for the indian! (y)

Naw, just joking, but I've heard about such things several times. :D
