Thought of starting thread about it but felt it wasn't a big deal though my fren's n900 is much solid and firm and today I saw this thread and found that I'm not alone. However, I can't complain to nokia care around my place coz I'm in Aus and the device is from US and its not out here yet. So I'm living with it with all my effort to try and ignore it but still it haunts s'times. And my device has stuck pixel as well on top to make things even worst.
has somebody kinda checklist or something like that btw?

I have had a gap in the bottom of the keyboard where a line of light shines through. It seems like the cut out was wrong or something. Also the light plastic piece keeps coming loose on the bottom where I have to push it back down for it to stay.

You know they are knockoffs because they have Chinese language support which the official version doesn't have yet. If you bought yours on the grey market, be warned!
more details here.

also in case you think that may not be real, here is a video that the "Chinese-fied" N900 in action.

Hi.
Got the device for maybe three weeks and a week ago I noticed that the keyboard bezel was coming off at the bottom side of the keyboard. Here's a picture (click to enlarge):
It's really soft and I can press it back into the casing but it pops right back again. As it's too far out, there's some light leaking out from below the keyboard as well. Looks pretty broken. I never dropped the device even once and kept it in a nice pouch all the time in my pocket. It was not once left in the sun or in extreme cold.
I'm going to return it at my shop as soon as they have a replacement in stock. Seems like this is not a common problem. Maybe a production fault...
Well, this just FYI, another thing that might break. No deeper purpose to this thread

Wow, did you happen to leave it in a really hot car, or oven, or clothes dryer? Looks like you melted the case!

Nope, I kept it safe inside the pouch in my pocket all the time. No exposure to sun, not to cold... It's not melted, but it seems like the bezel is held in place by some small hooks and it seems like on my phone one of them is missing/broken.

It was like that out of the box then?

I didn't notice this problem when I took it out of the box. One morning when I picked it up from my table where it was charging, I noticed it. I'm guessing it was already faulty/loose but didn't show the fault right on.

Same thing happened to mine actually, if I run my fingernail along the length of the bezel below the bottom row of keys it will snap back into place. As soon as I open the screen though to expose the keyboard it seems to get tugged on and comes back out a little bit.
