hey Magel! another aussie eh? which capital city do you live in? oops... i forgot about my post on this yeah it sucks big time. i used aus post express, and it cost me about aud$59 + aud$20 for insurance. it wasnt cheap, but i had to get it there quick for the RMA to work. my replacement is on its way, and i should get it later this week. touch wood it's all good unfortunately i didnt keep a record, but my housemate got the phone as well (i got it for him, and he was the lucky one without any problems) and his box says 50-2009. that means it was manufactured in mid Dec 09 right? does it matter ie is there a certain batch of N900s with problems?
