dont mean to be funny, but presumably you have checked that they have actually repaired your phone and not "replaced" it. the imei should confirm it...

its always down to wether they have the parts in stock, i took my n97 in last year and the guy said he would have fixed it within an hour if he had the part, unfortunately it took 28 days to get my phone back, who did your repair by the way? they should get some credit here

As leetut said its mostly related to their inventory , changing a broken screen can be done in 10-15 minutes 
anyways glad you have your phone back

Anyway, after reading some posts here, I am afraid that it will take month for me to get my N900 repaired, and holiday is coming, it will be so inconvenient not having my N900 around.
so I filled the online repair form on 11/18/2010, and got everything ready in the envelop. Since I have to work on Friday, so I stopped at post office on Saturday (11/20/2010). I thought it will take a week for me to get the first response, but guess what, I got the first non-reply email on 11/23/2010 (That was quick, I thought. ), saying that my package has been received and it will take about 7-10 days to turn around.
But something more surprising is I got second email the next day, but the time-stamp of the email is still 11/23/2010, saying that my N900 has been sent to me. The email did not tell me if my device was fixed or not, nada.
And today (11/27/2010), I received my N900 in my mailbox, everything is fixed, and feels great to hold it again.
I just think the repair is so fast, though it would be better if they told me that my unit was fixed in the second email so I wold not worry too much.
Anyway, Nice weekend to all of you, I am a happy man now.

My experience has been they fix it and turn around from dropping it off at the post office to putting the SIM back in it is 7 days using PALCO. I've had 6263, 5800 and N900 all turn around in this manner in the last year or so. In the instances of the 5800 they replaced it because v 40 screwed it up big time. The other two were repairs. The N900 got a new LCD, the 6263 got several parts.
The cost was for initial postage. Two times they sent a $10.00 Visa card to cover that. In each case the repair form was available at this link.
