Bye bye the phone of my dreams
 

Hello. Im writing this post with a bit of sadness. What i tought to be a epic journey of coding, modding and awesomeness has turned into the nightmare of my life, and it's all thanks to nokia care and mediamarkt sweden. When i get my refund, im buying a padfone, and that's it with that.


Bought my n9 this spring, a black 16 gb, fancy thingy. Worked like a charm, was incredible, etc etc. But one day, my wlan and internet started to fail me, showing chip errors in the logs. Brought it in, showed the logs. We'll fix it, they said. Got it back a month later. "It's working like a charm with our simcard" they said. -Have you tried using it for an hour continuously, i asked. Nope, but your phone is fine, our tests says that. Nothing to do. used it, cursed it.
Camera lens got loose in a wired manner, and kept moving around whenever phone vibrated. Noticed tiny screw missing under charging port tray. Was able to lift up my screen and camera with my fingers. Brought it in. They said it was my fault. Got mad at them. They reminded me i got an insurance on it, used it.
Got it back a month later, with an broken screen.
Guy in desk at mediamarkt told me there was nothing he could do about the screen. Got supermad. Noticed screw was still missing.
Convinced the guy that i did not send in the phone with an broken screen. Swedish shop could not fix, sent it to finland, got i back a month later, same day as my big move. front camera misplaced, headphone jack not working, and charging port door misplaced and uncloseable. drove 60 km to the closest mediamarkt, to make a complaint, and get all my money back. Been in the complaint state for a month, and guess what? Yesterday the called me, asked, "we cant find any service history on this phone, have you turned it in at another mediamarkt"? -Yes ofcourse, my receipt you copied says it was bought and serviced in växjö. "Ohh, yeah, thats right..." -So, it's been a month, how long until done? "Well, now when got what we need, maybe a month or two."

It's been two months now, and im still sitting here with my Sony Ericsson F305.

I payed 400 euros for something that been in a workshop more than in my hands.
Im ****ing sick of nokia, as i bought the n9 for n900 money, after convincing them that an E7 is not anywhere close to the n900 in any way.

Im out. May your phones be forever durable. Sail strong.
Take care.

Well the n9 is the iPhone of Maemo's.... so yeah, at least its better than the L920.

He upgraded from N900 to N9. His unfortunate experience was due to poor customer service. You are welcome to stick to your N900 with tiny memory and slow CPU as long as you like but hold off the snide comments.

Snide ? :S looks like you took it kind of serious ?

Hi doesn't the EU have some kind of lemon law whereby if such faults are discovered within 6 months from purchase, a 1 for 1 exchange must be made by the retailer instead?

I feel your pain as we know too well that if its a hardware issue then Nokia is one of the worst to deal with...

Re: Bye bye the phone of my dreams
 

Sorry for that, I feel my heart is aching after reading this.. Well, I would go for Android after that, since I don't like Maemo much, I prefer MeeGo a lot.. Well, but if I can't afford to buy the N9 again, I would go for Android, since I need something with it.. But I would NEVER, EVER switch from the N9 as long as it works and not completely broken like yours.. I hope you feel better, and as thedead1440 said, Nokia is the worst at hardware fixing..
