Hi everyone,

I’m getting a friend of mine to purchase the N900 for me from UAE, and I’d like him to test the phone to see if it has any problems before he brings it to Australia for me. The problem is he’s not much of a techie, so I’ll need to explain how he has to check the phone in layman’s terms. This is just to be safe, so that I don’t get a defective unit when it’s already in my hands.

Based on what I’ve searched around the forums, he should look out for:

1) microphone – test to see if it works, can make phone calls, other person can hear him clearly

2) reboots – play around with the phone to see if it randomly reboots?

3) dead pixel test – use the link http://www.gdargaud.net/Hack/DeadPixels.html or http://jasonfarrell.com/misc/deadpixeltest.php

Is there a concrete way to check the reboot problem, besides what I mentioned above?

Did I miss anything else? I’m specifically looking for faults that is covered by warranty (ie hardware, not necessarily software). If I did miss a thread listing all these faults, do point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance
