Hmm that's really poor customer service on both ends. Though Amazon's return/replacement policy only lasts for 30 days, after that it's the 1 yr manufacturer's warranty from Nokia that is in place (though in reality it starts the moment you get your device). Though I'm not advising waiting for the return policy to expire then using the warranty since there's no guarantee Nokia will accept it. Though they should since it is a reproducable defect.

I'm reluctant to give up a (mostly) working n900, to wait an unknown length of time, to pay unknown addition cost, for a second device which may or may not have the same problem. I'd like to hold on to the one I've got, live with the hassle of having to use a headset for phone calls, and hope to get this one repaired under warranty once the current n900 fever dies down. The whole situation feels like it's going to be a gamble on my part either path I take.

^ how long did it take? i just sent mine out for faulty ear piece, and i really hope they send me a new one and not just reject it back to me, which then would just force me to use a headset to all calls just to hear them other then using speaker phone

No information from them (though out of habit I did chase) and the only thing was that a new order was setup for me, which was waiting for stock to be allocated to it after they had the phone for a week.

maemoexperts
Serial Number 015476
pwannell
Serial Number 015297
nuknuk
Serial Number 015481

Serial Number 012679
douglas
Serial Number 008154
bbrindle
Serial Number 008477
FYI those want to find out the serial number,
The IMEI format is as follow (example only): 35007752-323751-3
The bit in bold is the N900's unique serial number.
First 8 digits = Type Allocation Code (device name + region etc.)
Last digit = Check Digit
Serial Number 015757
Arrived and powerd up on 30 Nov09
- Mic was dead on arrival.
DTMF tones can be sent from number pad
External earpiece and mic work OK
Bluetooth headset works OK
Has been fully reflashed with the Flasher - internal mic still dead.
Diasasembly video here:

Seems to show that, in common with other Nokia phones, mic is a module that relies on presure contact with the motherboard. Could be a problem with a poor connection at this location (resist not cleaned off properly etc) or wrong type of microphone module used.
May be some brave person will have a go at checking their mic connection
