New member, 1st post here. I've been wanting an N900 and finally broke down and ordered it yesterday morning. That was BEFORE I stumbled across this thread. I spent all day reading through this thread, first with growing horror at Nokia's inept and shameful handling of the problem, then with a little bit of reassurance (with posts starting around March 1) that Nokia seemed to be doing an about face and stepping up to make things right for people, then again with concern that getting repairs seems to be a hit or miss kind of thing. My N900 is in transit and should come today or tomorrow and I'm wondering now if I should simply refuse to accept it when it arrives. I bought it from Newegg here in the States and it only comes with a "replacement for defective" return policy but I think if I returned it without having opened it, I could get a refund although I would no doubt have to pay a 10-15% restocking fee. I'll call them as soon as they open and ask about it. Or should I take it, handle it with extreme caution and hope for the best? The 1st thing I'd do is file the prongs down on the cables, that's for certain. For those of you who've owned it for a while, is the device itself worth the grief you may have experienced due to this problem?
