Slightly less than a year. I'm starting to think it was a defective batch, since all similar reports here are about devices around one year old
I hope my replacement screen is not part of the defective batch and it will last more, even though it doesn really matter since....

...with support dropped by nokia, and the development of alternatives hindered by your failing unit, I don't see a future for the n800.
Oh, well, I learnt my lesson: don't buy brands that overcharge you for being in Europe and drop product support in less than a year.
