What is this 'telephony disabled' error you speak of dean? Is it fatal?
In my case it wasn't fatal but it can be.

Can you explain a bit more what this error is about?
Does this mean it will work, but not as a phone, or are there more serious issues? Because if WiFi stays working... I could continue using it as an N810 replacement. It has not happened to me, mind you, but if it had... I would get the E7 AND ask for the N900 back. Or for the N900 + a C2 or something...

I was wondering have all of you who successfully had your N900 repaired/replaced have a warranty? My N900 has been broken for a couple weeks!

In my case, WIFI, all media functions, camera, apps, web browsing etc still worked fine.

My N900 was sent away for repair as its screen went dead a few weeks back.
I got offered the N8 today as an "upgraded replacement"
as Nokia have deemed my N900 as irrepairable. I have 60 days to swap it out for an E7 if I don't like the n8. The guy in the Nokia repair centre tried to convince me that I was getting an excellent deal by getting a brand new phone instead of my N900. I offered to relieve him of his car with a brand new bicycle 
- the schmuck refused.
I said I am happy to wait for the N9 if that can be offered as a repacement - he couldn't help me with that.
I am going to stand my ground and refuse the N8. Going to write to Nokia and ask for my N900 or a equivalent replacement (N9).The N8 is a bloody joke !

In almost all of my experiences with various companies, the warranty replacement will always inherit the warranty remaining of the original product.
However, when I sent my N900 (1 year warranty left) to be put to sleep, they sent me an unopened E7 box with the full 24 month warranty (which I'm now exchanging elsewhere for an unused N900 with 24 month warranty <3).
Since they gave me a 24 month warranty for the E7, perhaps you should pester them more and try to get the full (or at least longer) warranty for your E7? All customers should be equal etc.

i sent Nokia and its repair affiliate Anovo a "nice" mail explaining how crap the N8 is compared to the N900. I told them how I used the phone for my work and how the N8 just cannot do the number crunching like the N900.
Nokia are arranging for a swap with a refurbished N900 on Monday!
YAY !!
Given how I'm so dependent on the N900, I don't think it would be a bad idea to invest in a few cheap N900s off eBay!

I'm slowly adapting to Symbian 3... and warming up to it.
