Re: N900 Defective Keyboard Finish
 

Mine had the same problem as well, the front part of the bezel doesn't clicks into place very well. I cut a very thin strip of double sided tape and drop it in between the gap and it looks perfect right now. Can't even notice the tape even if i look very closely.

Re: N900 Keyboard Frame: Broken, Loose, Has Gaps?
 

One thing that annoys me is a squeak when opening and closing the slider, other than that all seems pretty solid.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Re: N900 Keyboard Frame: Broken, Loose, Has Gaps?
 

Mine creeks near the midpoint of the phone, right below the keyboard. I have a suspicion it isn't very strong and it might snap. Also, pressing the space bar doesn't seem very solid as well. Nokia is really good about warranty repairs though. I'll probably let it ride for a couple months if it lasts that long, play a lot of keyboard mashing games, and then have Nokia repair it.

Didn't meant that in an offensiv way. A device with a price of at least 600 € should be flawless imho and hardware failures like that are not acceptable.

Hmmm will they repair it for free after a couple o months? German law says that after six month of using the buyer needs to proof that thew mistake was there from the beginning....

Re: N900 Keyboard Frame: Broken, Loose, Has Gaps?
 

I don't know about Germany, but in the United States the warranty procedure was pretty straightforward. I called them and told them the problems I was having, I sent them just the phone (battery cover, SD card, etc is not needed), and they sent it back with new parts installed. They paid for shipping both ways so it cost me nothing other than driving to drop off the package.

Besides, if Nokia's new batch of N900s have a new keyboard and trim installed from the factory as a previous post seems to indicate, then it would occur to me that Nokia is aware of the problem being there from the beginning and should fix it for free.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that one! The thread "Gap between case?" with four posts has been merged into this thread.

Just make sure you did not buy the N900 knock-off from China (with dual sim card, etc).
