Last week it was raining and I wantened to listen some music. I took out my N900, plugged in the ear buds and started the music. Some rain drops were on the screen, so I wanted to wipe them off gently with my sleeve. But the corner of the N900 got stuck in my sleeve, and the N900 fell out of my hands with keyboard open. About the same height, 1.5 meters.

Phone and keyboard are still working fine, no problems. I had a Zagg full-body protector on it (but I took off the screen protector earlier, because it doesn't feel nice), so the back cover is spotless. But the edges around the screen have some scratches on them, and I now hear a clicking sound sometimes when I press the touch screen in the upper right area. I could cry that moment lol.

But since my N900 has other issues, I'm gonna try and take it back to the Nokia shop. It has a dead pixel, a problem with sometimes the hardware keyboard not lightening up, and that I'm unable to snooze / stop the alarm clock in the morning. The touch screen would just not respond. So I'm forced to take out the battery, or just simply wait till it goes over (and I tell you, neither is fun to do when you just woke up). But the alarm clock issue may have something to with me putting the phone in offline mode at night. Because when the alarm is over, it asks me if I want to exit offline mode and go online. So a program / application is still trying to connect to the internet while in offline mode. The prompt comes up and I think that prompt stays in focus, even when alarm's ringing. I think it's Mail for Exchange wanting to connect.

The problem with the alarm is probably just a Maemo bug and getting my phone replaced won't solve it (maybe filing a bug will, haven't done that yet nor have I checked if it's already in there), but Nokia employees wouldn't know. It only makes my chances of getting a replacement bigger if I mention more issues I guess.

So wish me luck! I want an issue-free phone (and a scratch-free haha)!
