I'm still trying to work out if I could be struck by this bug, or if mine is a definite hardware or other issue instead. For example, say I fully charged my n900 - would I need to run it flat and recharge with a different charger before it had the opportunity to start working correctly?

Or am I just clutching at straws and hoping my Mic problem isn't as bad as it probably is?

Hey Ads,

IMHO the charger may not be the issue, its probably a hardware fault or a software glitch.
Check to see my previous post what I had experienced.
For what its worth, take the battery out, restart it, make a call to you N900 from another phone. See if the mic works, now make the call from N900 to another phone.
It could be a driver loading issue, but i havent started to look into it in detail.

Ive read somewhere here, that bluetooth headset works fine, so you could use your phone with that for now.

hope it works for you mate !
else keep a close here , im sure one of us will find out the issue soon.
You always have te return and exchange option with Nokia so not to worry, just bad that you cant get to use your N900 right away !
