Will send mine in a few minutes mate

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Wow that's gutting after such a long wait, you get a dud!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

We need to find out how many people got their devices this morning and who is and who isn't having the Mic issue.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Nice one. I hope to be saying that in a weeks time

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I've replied to all those who PMed me, those that have issues with UPS

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

slight off topic, but how long will your initial charge be (8-12 hours) or until it is full?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

My mic works... but I get quite a lot (quite horrific!) of signal noise in the speaker - not the stereo ones mind.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Its a joke well they are going to FAIL againjust like the n97

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

this is sh1t
the only thing i regrest ordering with Nokia Online Store is their aftersales service, which suck b4lls

mine probably 90% going to have the mic issues as well..

nuknuk, can you call up your nearest nokia store/nokia care point for a swap?

just hope they don't take 4 weeks for a replacement...

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Hope its ok but it is a joke

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I still haven't received my package from UPS yet. Having read what some of you have said so far about the mic not working, I almost dont want it to arrive now...Godd@mnit! Can't Nokia do anything right these days?!?! :(

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Same here....

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

If i am not calling nokia to see where my phone is its now to see why it does not work.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Also a little worried, but so far, being realistic it looks to be 3-5 people with mic problem, handful more with reboots, out of maybe 5,000 phones in public hands right now?

at end of day if mine is a dud, i will be annoyed, but that's why we get warranties/14days cooling off period etc

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

You'll look back on this and laugh when you're ringing Nokia to find out why your newly repaired phone killed your cat.

A few too many hardware horror stories for me on here... I've cancelled my order and will await new batches/firmware/year/model.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

...out of the subset of those phones owned by users of this forum.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

+1


please send us a phone thats fully baked nokia !

dont want an N97 episode again, this looks like its going the same way.
Seeing the randomness in the different shipments, I can belive megacrazy as well now, he might have got a faulty unit who knows !
Ive just begun to lose all interest in this device now, first with the release date fiasco now this. Android looks decades advanced now !

:(:confused:

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

on a seperate note
I've noticed Micky got this error

Operation tempoarily disabled due to low memory.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

have a vague recolection that Micky has pre-release FW running testing portrait mode etc, could this be a bug in that rather than current?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I'm seriously thinking of cancelling as well. It's becoming obvious that it's foolish to purchase a Nokia product before its track record for stability is established.

At this stage I'm thinking of going for an Android handset and waiting to see if/when Nokia gets its act together before purchasing another Nokia device.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

anyone received their device today and DID NOT have the mic issue?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

At least you could speak to people on the n97

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I received mine at 9.30am this morning which is the time the UPS guy always delivers the UPS packages for me (give or take a few mins).

I've tested out:
WiFi
Skype Calling
Google Talk
Installing Applications
Web browsing
Using Nokia PC Suite
FM Transmitter
Speakerphone while on a call
Handsfree headset supplied while on call
My own bluetooth headset while on call
video recording/picture taking
multi-tasking + multi-tasking while on call

Everything thus far is working brilliantly out of the box.

The Nokia manual says the battery has already been partially charged and it says you do not need to charge it for a specific amount of time. I guess there is no first charge needed in this case..

I'm still rooting my way through all the features to get used to it all.. But so far, I'm off to a great start...

To add, the phone works perfectly fine with the Three sim card. It was reported before that it wouldn't.. in my case it is working fine. Internet settings were installed automatically by Three sending a few SMS messages with the settings..

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Thanks for giving a report on how ur getting on with the device. I'm keeping my fingers & toes crossed that I have a similar experience..

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Good to know I have a chance of the Mic not being broken :D

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

i can't believe the first thing i'm going to do with my n900 is to check for hardware defects

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Can I just confirm you're using firmware 1.2009.42?
Is your 3 simcard a PAYG or contract?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Does the mic work when using a headset? Just out of interest?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Someone mentioned that it did

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Firmware is indeed 1.2009.42

My 3 sim card is a contract one.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

i don't know what the hell UPS site did to my browser, now the Internet thinks i'm in holland
Paypal site default lang is Dutch
same for Facebook and Google
WTF!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Everything is fine one mine, the front camera is a bit flaky and as I just found out I sometimes get signal noise on the phone ear speaker thingy...

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Go to whatismyip.com

Is that your correct IP?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

My IP looks correct.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

It does, I used to make calls while using Apple headsets.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Ah. I meant on a device with a faulty mic.. Does the headset mic work when attached, even if the phone's mic appears to be broken

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

this is actually a good question... answer will tell weather its an hardware or software issue :/ (even tho both sucks lol but at least if it is software, nokia will come up with next firmware that would fix that)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

for the people who asked me to check mic mine is working fine, sorry to hear about your devices
