N800 Battery Cover
 

I just recieved my N800 in the mail. The cover for the battery clips in place but has a little room on the sides, so if you press your thumb on the cover and move your thumb left to right or up and down it slides slighty in those directions. Is this normal?

Yes mine does the same.

Re: N800 Battery Cover
 

Yup, I confirm it too. Mine does it too.

I stuck a couple of small blobs of bluetack under mine, and it stays firmly in place now.

nokia kinda infamous for their sloppy battery covers.

The shape and size of the cover and housing turned out to be problematic. Not as easy to control both sets of tolerances as one might think. There's a tradeoff of cost versus benefit... in this case, the gap isn't big enough IMO to be a real issue worthy of further expense.

Well, the keypad in the front panel also doesn't fit right.

On a side note, Nokia just can't compare to Sony Ericsson in terms of construction. My w810i is the best designed piece of hardware i ever had, it's really solid and is well built and quality. You can feel the quality just by holding it, and i've been really rough with it and it managed to hold out mighty fine.

Really? I haven't seen that-- may be a process control problem, manifesting in some but not all assemblies.

yeah tell me about it! I just got a replacement battery cover for my Nokia E90 as it was loose - new one is fine.

However, I can also confirm my N800 has cover movement...

Has anyone gone to the trouble of finding/ordering another N800 cover to see that helps? I guess so many people have the issue that the chances are it wont solve it, but just curious if anyone tried.
