That really doesn't solve the problem for the rest of us seeking to keep using our devices. I'm also in need of a replacement stand as well as a new screen (with digitizer) and I've run into all the same problems everyone else is complaining about--I cannot find anyplace to buy the parts and the one place that claims to have them won't sell them to me unless I'm 'certified' to be able to have those parts sold to me. Is there any way I, and others, can get this resolved? Isn't Nokia concerned with after-market sales and support? At this point in time, they could make more profit from parts than from whole product and it would go far to satisfy customers who have liked Nokia's products and wish to remain loyal to the brand. For instance, I had been eagerly awaiting to get a Nokia N810 WiMax when it comes out here in the US. I may change my mind--I don't want to run into this again in the future--especially now that there appears to be some excellent Linux UMPC/Tablet alternatives on the market from very competitive brands that are known to provide good support. That element may provide them with a competitive leg to stand on despite Nokia's head-start and excellent product. Advice would be appreciated. I'm not willing to ship my device out for repair--that seems ridiculous to me. The cost of repair and shipping is not worth it to me--I'm very capable of doing things myself. Maybe a collective purchase from a few people who are looking for replacement backplates/kickstands? Screens? Better still, do you know where I can buy parts from that maybe I hadn't come across? Thanks in advance!
But those damn graphs may change drastically in other directions in a year...
yeah right. You really are naive...
