Aha! I was always under the impression warranty only lasted one year. I got my first N900 in March 2010, so you're probably right. Nokia wanted to give me a N8 instead as a replacement, but I refused. Then the phone service provider hooked me up with a completely new N900 they still had lying around in one of their stores. I'm happy.

Yes, when asking Sygic for bug fix updates I got replies stating they dropped all support together, when they repeatedly promised a major bug fix update months earlier. Their latest version is unfortunately still plagued by numerous major bugs :(. So I might just do what you said, since I paid for it before. Wonder if I can find the newest version anywhere. The linked contact list function (though bugged for company names) is nice.

Edit: I managed to active it for my new N900 on the Sygic site.

Done already ages ago! :)

However, I could not get GPS to work with my restored image.

I just flashed my N900 an hour ago with PR1.3 using the flasher. GPS works now. Seems some hardware assignments or something are stored in a config at first bootup or so. I'm afraid I'm still have to go reconfigure the whole thing from scratch to keep GPS functionality. Unless anyone has any suggestions how to get GPS to work with the image from my previous N900.

edit: Apparently I updated to PR1.3.1, which corrupted GPS functionality. Just did a restore again, without updating to 1.3.1, GPS works too now.
