N900 in the UK, has there been a product recall?
 

I have been eagerly awaiting the n900 for some time now. I had my order placed on amazon back on Oct 7th and guess what.... im still waiting!

Now I know there have been alot of posts about when its being release, who's getting theres and even some mad people, not happy that they have to wait but surely its time nokia made a press release about the device if they are not able to deliver.

My mate placed an order on MPD last week and was told he would receive delivery on the coming saturday. The weekend came and went with no phone arriving. So he called up, only to be told that the device was delayed until 31st december as all units were being recalled. It was apparently due to a fault on the touch screen which had been detected on the n97 and is present on the n900?!?!? Fact or fiction???

I would rather the device was working without issue, that is without a doupt. However isnt this a massive failure on nokia's part, since we are now in december, christmas is only a few weeks away and this is prime sales time. Ive had my order delayed now 3 times, with an estimated delivery on the 17th Dec now (from amazon) which Im no longer confident will arrive.

Come on Nokia, pluck up the courage and annouce whats going on, otherwise you might just find your sales going the wrong way soon!

It hasn't been recalled. Just lack of stock and due to exclusivity.

No idea where is touch screen issue is coming from, first time hearing it.
Some source or official posts?

Direct from MobilePhonesDirect (nokia retail). My friend called up and that is what the sales person told him. It sounded fishy to me but i was after some kind of answer really.

Man, the amount of FUD on this board is unbelievable.

If companies recall products, they have to issue humiliating press releases (not least so they don't mislead investors). See the recent battery mess up from Nokia.

If there had been an N900 recall we would have seen it.

rcs1000 - you have an interesting point and agree with you totally as for the FUD well its to be expected really. Everyone is so excited about the phone, hardly suprising some get a little worked up lol

I for one will be patient for it......I WANT IT NOW he he he

My device is working without issue, no restart so far. Everything just works. You don't need to be some tech genuis to use it either everything is pretty straight forward. I really do think this is a great device, you properly get internet email etc. on your phone, no compromise. I wish my computer would run for 5 days without restarting!
I suspect they were expecting interest of the order of their previous tablet devices not the interest it is getting.

Lies, many a happy N900 owners on this board. Also some with issues but I doubt enough for a product recall.

Would have been more believable if whoever started this rumour had done their homework and claimed it was for microphone failures.

I have been trying hard to crash my N900 but no joy. This is excellent. Truly excellent device

Re: N900 in the UK, has there been a product recall?
 

jaark I agree with you, it was me Thundercat600 was talking about,when I called nokia retail to see were my order was they told me it was a product recall due to a failure to the screen like what the N97 was having, well I said I did not no the N97 had a screen probem, in the end because they did not sound convincing I cancled my order with them, and will await for full release, I just wish Nokia would come out and say there is a delay due to demand instead of the silence and then let companies like Nokia Retail tell well not the truth

Me too, I tried Maps, it hangs, but device didn't crash.
Could easily 'End task' on those that hangs.

Well you at least have to give MPD credit for being inventive. They seem to have a never ending list of rubish to tell their customers. Glad I went direct to Nokia.co,uk on this one.

Re: N900 in the UK, has there been a product recall?
 

lol, it's not like nokia.co.uk have a clue either.
The N900 has been "available" for a few weeks now according to Nokia and the maemo.nokia.com website.
So how come it's still on pre-order on the shop.nokia.co.uk website, and their wonderful customer service representatives haven't a clue when or if it will be available.
(Note I don't blame the customer service people, I've been there before. The complete lack of communication "nokia - connecting people" lmfao)

To answer the post, though.
For there to be a product recall there has to be a product in the first place...

Re: N900 in the UK, has there been a product recall?
 

The N900 is out as seen by afew members on here.

The reason is still says pre-order on the store is because they are not getting enough N900's in to satisfy the exisiting preorders.

You will probably find that once all exisiting preorders have been honoured and they start getting a surplus of devices in their store then the 'Preorder' will change to 'Buy it Now'.
