...damn...I thought I am the only one with titan nails. There seems to be more Krypton guys out in the wild ...

Thanks for your postings so far. Still not solved my meagre looking screen issue - with low light winter coming up, I might be able to handle a couple of more month with it. Keypad is also still on the list - I am not sure if I will be happy with an English keypad and German keymats are hard to find.

So this means:
(*) I am still looking at a replacment N900
(*) I am still checking if I can fix the partly broken stuff myself

P.S.: I sent out "private messages" for the users offering stuff, thanks!
