Righto- here's the latest.
Just spoke to MPD online chat. the guy on the other end was very helpful and pleasant (OMG are they actually listening to our complaints?).
I told him I'd sent an email requesting returns wotsit. He said 'that's ok, but have you tried the Nokia N900 Helpline (on the paper in the box).
No I hadn't so I did. Again- extremely helpful, gave me a reference number and told me to take it to Nokia Care's repair outlet where I have to leave it for a day and 'DONT WORRY, THEY WILL SORT IT OUT FOR YOU'.
So there's a challenge.
Really hope for your sake its not gonna go that way tho.

Hey Ninja, you must be having a nightmare
Please re-read the last post i made on this subject here
the bit that seems to be happenning is
They have the responsibility to put the matter right, and should not evade this responsibility by referring you to the manufacturer in the context of a guarantee or warranty.
If a repair is impossible or unfeasible, you must then be offered a replacement. Due to the emphasis on proportionality in this legislation, you must give the seller reasonable time to repair or replace before demanding your money back and you should be aware that any refund given may well take account of any use you have had of the goods since you took possession of them. If you do not want the seller to repair or replace, or they have told you they are unable to, you can then request they reduce the purchase price to an appropriate amount, although this does not affect your ability to take return the item if something else goes wrong
- i know you just want to get it sorted quickly - but the official/legal route will provide you the most backing if something goes wrong again

The other key bit is about reasonable time:
Yes, but I feel a bit better now. To be honest local repair shop is 30 minutes away and if i take it in before i can pick up saturday and do my Xmas shopping at the same time. If they fix it, it's been worth it- and if, as you say, they reflash it and it still doesn't work, then they will have it back- but at least this way I'm not just sending it back off into the ether with no idea or contol over when i get another. I suspect they'd rather fix it partly because they know they can't replace it quickly yet anyway.

You are so close to getting the N900 then RM "kick you in the nuts" and send it to the wrong address.
Deeply frustrating!

Most people are posting frustrations on here, and not everyone is posting their Joy.
This does not mean i do not feel sympathy for the broken device users, i really really do. And i hope that they are able to get a new device quickly, and painlessly - and the enw device works fine for them.
I'll be posting my non-compaison review in a different thread later tonight when i get time
For those still waiting - good luck and speedy delivery is wished upon you
