Well, it's finally official. As of today (April 3), after languishing at the Huntsville AL repair facility since January 26, my N800 will never again see the light of day (except possibly as a refurb if the parts ever arrive).

Nokia ERT pulled the plug and decided to issue me a refund check, supposedly within the next 2 to 6 weeks. Since I had less than 30 days usage, they will refund the full purchase price shown on my original receipt (which I had to fax for confirmation).

NOTE: After 30 days usage, the refund amount would be reduced according to Nokia policy.
