This probably isn't the best thread to post a list of problems, but since two people have asked:

1. Broken camera flip switch (on both the N800s I've used so far)

2. Whenever the N800 makes ANY sound, it makes a very quiet (almost inaudible, but definitely real) hiss for about 2 seconds afterward. For example, if you have UI sound effects turned on, it hisses every time you click the screen. It does this even when the volume is all the way down. This issue affects both N800s I've used, and I think it's probably a design flaw. The noise is quiet enough that I didn't notice it at first, but it's pretty lame nonetheless. Nokia really needs to work on QA.

3. This one is unique to my device: The past three nights when I've gone to sleep the N800 has had a full battery. Each morning, the battery has been completely dead, to the point where it won't start up without plugging it in. Not sure what that's about, since it's been holding a charge just fine during the day. Something must be causing it to crash and then maxing out the CPU until the battery dies...

4. This doesn't directly affect the N800 as of yet, but the fact that the 2007 OS is incompatible with the 770 less than 1.5 years after its release doesn't bode well for the new device... This has already been discussed at great length in the comments on Ari Jaaksi's blog, and as I've said there, it really makes me wonder if buying the N800 was a mistake.


I really enjoy using the thing when it works properly, but there are some pretty significant problems. For $400 I expected better.
