It's just a mess - I hate to say it, but that's what it has been, there's no getting away from it. I'm not complaining about the delays, just the lack of communication throughout the entire process - you can't even check the status of your order online. And now this warranty farce.

And I'm not even sure a 1 week warranty is actually legal in the UK - I'm pretty sure it isn't, although there may be an exception where a discount is applied.

I'd still like a N900, but will probably have to pick one up at full price (with a warranty) sometime next year unless something else catches my eye, and this will also shoot a hole in my plan to buy a successor device to the N900 in 2010. C'est la vie.
