I called nokia and they asked me to send the unit in and I'd have to wait. Does anyone know at this point whether they are still repairing the 770, simply replace it with n800, or refund?

Does anyone know of a way to use the screen outside the device?
It is a beautiful little screen - probably ideal for a unix console, for instance - but I'm living in fear that it will WSOD on me because of the controller. The lack of speed / opera bugs / etc. means that my poor 770 now annoys me and I'd rather salvage the screen as a small second display / terminal display for my server, etc.

I had my Nokia 770 from May 2006 until Feb 2007 and was very happy with unit before I got my WSOD. Re-flashing the OS whilst successful, did not correct the WSOD problem. I spoke with Nokia help desk early last week, as a consequence a got a next day call-back, then a courier collection from home address, on Thu 22nd March.
( I am in UK ATM)
I sent my Nokia 770 in it’s original box with charged battery, battery cover and stylus, but nothing more. I also included a dated letter with details of WSOD etc. I will provide further information on Nokia’s overall response, turnaround time in due course.

Just a warning...

MikeL, sorry to hear about yours also. Nokia asked me to send it in myself and I have to pay for shipping, no courier collection...
Thanks for the warning Karel. The support person that I talked to specifically told me to send in the unit only, and keep the battery cover, stylus, battery and memory card. I thought it was odd that they asked me to keep the battery cover, but I guess it must be their process to dump everything except the core unit..

MikeL... Nokia UK has been giving me absolute crap for over a month now (I posted on some other thread detailing my ongoing struggle). So if you receive the bare unit you're in for a lot of swearing.

Which reminds me, I'll try and find out tomorrow if Nokia UK have received my N800 (sans battery, battery cover and stylus) - I sent it off almost two weeks ago to have the touchpad pressure sensitivity problem fixed and I haven't heard a dickie bird since.
I called nokia and they asked me to send the unit in and I'd have to wait. Does anyone know at this point whether they are still repairing the 770, simply replace it with n800, or refund?
