They should have to, we need to get the blogosphere together and start publicizing how stupid this is. It's the only way nokia will care about it, is if it can affect marketshare. n900 market is fairly small, so unless the masses hear about this stupid issue, nokia doesn't need to "waste" money recovering.

Does your n900 camera produce hazy "bluish" images?

  • The "guts" of the device are exposed, and that's bothersome.
Yes, my thoughts exactly!

So what is it on the cover that is causing the problem exactly?
I thought it was the chrome come around the camera/flash but covering the chrome around the flash in black electrical tape didn't do much, plus I am noticing the hazy a little more to the right, where the lens cover sits once pulled back.

That side of it is just blue and a dull finish, so doesn't look to be reflective enough....

You can't get rid of the metal bezel because it has one of the holes which keep the stand.
I have covered the right side of the bezel with two tiny pieces of black insulating tape.
No more haze in flash shots, apparently! I'll search for an even less reflecting tape then.

Wow, that looks great, if that truly works I will be doing the same soon.

Hmmm that's exactly what I did, plus covered the top part too with same tape.
No difference for me.

I was beginning to think its more the underneath part of the chrome; the side away from this photo, side closer to the LED's, which would make sense. So I am going to try wrapping my tape around that chrome part more.

The biggest culprit is the blue thingy part of the slider.

Matte paint makes things worse. Matte means it will disperse light, not necessarily absorb it. And if parts of the dispersed light go towards the lens, we're back at square one (and that is exactly what is happening with the blue slider).

So, the best solution (paradoxically) is to make it as reflective as possible but AT AN ANGLE so the light is never reflected BACK. If the blue slider would have been a mirror (or even metallic), there would be no haze (as the light would bounce sideways, not back onto the sensor).

@DaveQB: I wrapped both indeed, I mean both external and internal side, since the tape turns inside around the bezel.
