Seriously affects if and when i purchase. If it's impossible to warranty, that may be a deal breaker, i certainly wouldn't be an early adopter, that's for sure.
Buy it from Europe.

You get a two year warranty instead of the US 1 year.

You´ll have to mail the device off for repairs (same as in the US) with a raised postage.

You´ll have the device repaired (it happens pretty quickly) and then shipped back to you.

My Denmark bought N95-1 broke down 2 days before the 2 year warranty expired. As I had moved to Raleigh, NC, I just UPS´d it back to a repair shop in Copenhagen and 2 days later they UPS´d it back.

I could have USPS´d it to save costs but I needed it faster.

Works wonders

The one I used was Mobildoktoren (The Mobile Doctor), they´ve got a webpage at http://www.mobildoktoren.dk/ and are a authorized Nokia Repair shop so if it´s under warranty, they´ll fix it without other charge than the shipping one.
